What it does

Gptel provides AI assistance directly within the Emacs editor, allowing founders to access language model capabilities without leaving their workflow.

When to use it
  • You need to generate text, such as emails or social media posts, based on a prompt or context.
  • You want to use AI to summarize long documents or articles, directly from within Emacs.
  • You're looking for an AI-powered tool to assist with coding tasks, such as function suggestions or code completion, in Emacs.
Ready-to-paste prompt
M-x gptel-chat, then input 'Write a product description for a new sustainable water bottle.' to generate a response.
Heads up: You need an API key from a supported language model provider, such as OpenAI, to use gptel; set this key with (setq gptel-api-key "your_api_key_here") in your Emacs configuration.
