文档#+title: gptel: A simple LLM client for Emacs
[[https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/gptel.svg][file:https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/gptel.svg]] [[https://stable.melpa.org/packages/gptel-badge.svg][file:https://stable.melpa.org/packages/gptel-badge.svg]] [[https://melpa.org/#/gptel][file:https://melpa.org/packages/gptel-badge.svg]]
gptel is a simple Large Language Model chat client for Emacs, with support for multiple models and backends. It works in the spirit of Emacs, available at any time and uniformly in any buffer.

General usage: ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsRnh_brggM][YouTube Demo]])

Multi-LLM support demo:
- It's async and fast, streams responses.
- Interact with LLMs from anywhere in Emacs (any buffer, shell, minibuffer, wherever)
- LLM responses are in Markdown or Org markup.
- Supports conversations and multiple independent sessions.
- Save chats as regular Markdown/Org/Text files and resume them later.
- You can go back and edit your previous prompts or LLM responses when continuing a conversation. These will be fed back to the model.
- Don't like gptel's workflow? Use it to create your own for any supported model/backend with a [[https://github.com/karthink/gptel/wiki/Defining-custom-gptel-commands][simple API]].
gptel uses Curl if available, but falls back to url-retrieve to work without external dependencies.

** Installation
gptel can be installed in Emacs out of the box with =M-x package-install= ⏎ =gptel=. This installs the latest release.
If you want the development version instead, add MELPA (or NonGNU-devel ELPA) to your list of sources, then install it with =M-x package-install⏎= =gptel=.
(Optional: Install =markdown-mode=.)

**** Kagi (FastGPT & Summarizer) #+html:
Kagi's FastGPT model and the Universal Summarizer are both supported. A couple of notes:
-
Universal Summarizer: If there is a URL at point, the summarizer will summarize the contents of the URL. Otherwise the context sent to the model is the same as always: the buffer text upto point, or the contents of the region if the region is active.
-
Kagi models do not support multi-turn conversations, interactions are "one-shot". They also do not support streaming responses.
Register a backend with #+begin_src emacs-lisp (gptel-make-kagi "Kagi" ;any name
