Using ChatGPT With Emacs

There are a few packages and libraries that are being built to use ChatGPT along with Emacs.

• Emacs OpenAI has a collection of packages for using ChatGPT and dall-e
• ChatGPT.el was one of the first, but hasn’t been updated to use the official API yet
• ChatGPT Shell is an eshell for ChatGPT and dall-e
• ChatGPT Arcana is a more integrated approach including prompt from region
• GPTel focuses on a chat client session within an Emacs buffer
• org-ai combines OpenAI whisper and GPT so you can talk to Emacs (also has a nifty begin_ai block for org-mode)
• leafy-mode adds completions to org-mode using ChatGPT

Links to this note

• Org-Mode Count the Number of Headings in a Region

  Sometimes I want to see how many headings are in an org-mode file I’m working in. For example, I like to know the number of items I have to refile.

• Org-Mode Export to Notion

  I use org-mode for taking notes and keeping track of tasks. I use Notion for work as an internal wiki.

• Capture Output of Chatgpt-Shell in Org-Mode

  I’m messing around with ChatGPT in Emacs and I want to capture the results of a session in org-mode. Since chatgpt-shell is just a buffer (like everything else in emacs), we can write an elisp source block to grab the contents of buffer. Even better, we can tell org-mode to export the results as a markdown block since the code examples all use code fences (the triple backtick).
