chatgpt

Use ChatGPT inside Emacs

CI

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!

💾 Installation

package.el

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!

use-package

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"))

Manual installation

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)

🔑 Obtaining API key

To use this extension, you will need an API key from OpenAI. To obtain one, follow these steps:

  1. 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.
  2. Click on the Create new secret key button.
  3. 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.

🔨 Usage

Before you can use this package you will need to set up your API key for openai library.

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!
