# 🧠 Running AI/ML API with AutoGPT

Follow these steps to connect **AI/ML API** with the **AutoGPT** platform for high-performance AI text generation.

---

## ✅ Prerequisites

1. Make sure you have gone through and completed the [AutoGPT Setup Guide](https://docs.agpt.co/platform/getting-started/), and AutoGPT is running locally at `http://localhost:3000`.
2. You have an **API key** from [AI/ML API](https://aimlapi.com/app/keys?utm_source=autogpt&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=integration).

---

## ⚙️ Setup Steps

### 1. Start AutoGPT Locally

Follow the official guide:
[📖 AutoGPT Getting Started Guide](https://docs.agpt.co/platform/getting-started/)

Make sure AutoGPT is running and accessible at:
[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)

> 💡 Keep AutoGPT running in a terminal or Docker throughout the session.
