Use ChatGPT inside Emacs
This Emacs Code extension allows you to use the official OpenAI API to generate code or natural language responses from OpenAI's ChatGPT to your questions, right within the editor.
P.S. This plugin focuses on experience with making conversations with ChatGPT!
This package is available from JCS-ELPA. Install from these repositories then you should be good to go!
Normally, you don't need to add (require 'chatgpt) to your configuration since
most 'chatgpt commands are autoload and can be called without loading the module!
If you are using use-package,
add the following to your init.el file:
(use-package chatgpt :ensure t)or with straight.el:
(use-package chatgpt
:straight (chatgpt :type git :host github :repo "emacs-openai/chatgpt"))Copy all .el files in this repository to ~/.emacs.d/lisp and add the following:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")
(require 'chatgpt)To use this extension, you will need an API key from OpenAI. To obtain one, follow these steps:
- Go to OpenAI's website. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one or sign up using your Google or Microsoft account.
- Click on the
Create new secret keybutton. - Copy the key and paste into the 'API Key' field under the 'openai' custom group settings.
When you create a new account, you receive $18 in free credits for the API which you must use in the first 90 days. You can see pricing information here. 1000 tokens are about 700 words, and you can see the token count for each request at the end of the response in the sidebar.
To start this package:
M-x chatgpt
You will then be asked to insert your response; in this window, you press return to send the message, and Shift+return to insert a newline like a normal browser!
