datasette-paste-table VS gptel

I often use it as a thesaurus. "Words that mean X" or even "that situation X me and I was annoyed - give me options for X"

For programming, all sorts of things. I use it all the time for programming languages that I'm not fluent in, like AppleScript or bash/zsh/jq. One recent example: https://til.simonwillison.net/gpt3/chatgpt-applescript

I use it as a rapid prototyping tool. I got it to build me a textarea I could paste TSV values into to preview that data as a table recently, one prompt produced exactly the prototype I wanted: https://github.com/simonw/datasette-paste-table/issues/1

I use it for brainstorming. "Give me 40 ideas for Datasette plugins involving AI" - asking for 40 ideas means that even if the first ten are generic and obvious there will be some interesting ones further down the list.

I used it to generate an OpenAPI schema when I wrote my first ChatGPT plugin, see prompt in https://simonwillison.net/2023/Mar/24/datasette-chatgpt-plug...

Emacs is able to run prompts, just like any other tool that's able to make an HTTP request. E.g., https://github.com/karthink/gptel provides hooks to both OpenAI and local LLMs, and allows you to use them anywhere—since everything in Emacs is a buffer.

There are some pretty great examples in the README.

Also worth checking out for more general use of LLMs in emacs: https://github.com/karthink/gptel

gptel: An LLM chat client for Emacs, supports ChatGPT and local LLMs (via Ollama, GPT4All or llama.cpp)

That would be great, though ChatGPT seems to prefer Markdown even when org is requested. Didn't want to fight it too much. Did you manage to get a reliable prompt, or if I'm understanding correctly gptel converts Markdown to Org?

I use https://github.com/karthink/gptel to talk to GPT in Emacs and, by extension, have a record of all my conversations (unless intentionally removed) as simple Org files in my single Org-Roam network.

It made me a working function on the first try. (sorry, I lost the exact prompt, I just ran gptel from my scratch buffer)
