What is AutoPR?

AutoPR is an innovative AI tool designed to autonomously generate pull requests in response to GitHub issues. Conceived in March 2023, it was among the first bots to leverage OpenAI's ChatGPT API for this purpose. The tool operates by triggering a workflow when a label containing 'AutoPR' is added to an issue. It then proceeds to plan a fix, write the necessary code, push a new branch, and open a pull request. While groundbreaking for its time, the project, now archived, had limitations such as incorrectly referencing code, duplicating lines, and calling non-existent functions. It was built with Guardrails, utilizing JSON Schemas for structured data generation and re-asking LLMs when adherence was not met. AutoPR offers a glimpse into the early capabilities of AI in code creation and automation.
