karthink/gptel
A simple, extensible LLM client for Emacs
This is an Emacs client that lets you interact with various Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI models directly within your Emacs environment. You input text, code, or even images/documents, and the LLM provides responses, summaries, or code suggestions, all integrated into your Emacs workflow. It's designed for Emacs users who want to leverage AI assistance without leaving their primary editing environment.
3,246 stars. Actively maintained with 51 commits in the last 30 days.
Use this if you are an Emacs user who wants a seamless, integrated way to chat with LLMs, get code suggestions, or process text with AI directly within your Emacs buffers and workflows.
Not ideal if you are not an Emacs user or prefer a standalone web-based or desktop application for your AI interactions.
