Self-INSTRUCT is similar to Auto-GPT but with better reasoning and planning. As awesome as GPT is, it's ability to "plan" is mediocre at best (even for GPT-4.) The core idea behind Self-INSTRUCT is to improve its core planning ability by providing it with fragments of human authored INSTRUCT sequences that GPT can pick from when doing planning. Self-INSTRUCT will also benefit from other INSTRUCT features, like the ability to avoid hallucinations.
The code for Self-INSTRUCT is under active development and I'll have more information I can share soon.
