Demos

Before diving in, let’s see what’s possible:

ChatGPT in org-mode

org#+begin_ai
Is Emacs the greatest editor?
#+end_ai

With this block, you can generate responses to your questions using ChatGPT directly within your Emacs setup.

DALL-E in org-mode

org#+begin_ai :image :size 1024x1024
Hyper realistic sci-fi rendering of a super complicated technical machine.
#+end_ai

Generate stunning images just by typing a prompt!

Features and Usage

org-ai harnesses the power of AI within your org-mode buffer through specialized blocks. Here’s how to make the most of it:

Special Blocks

The following syntax allows you to interact with AI models:

org#+begin_ai
Your AI prompt here
#+end_ai

Each block defines the roles and interactions with the AI. You can customize these blocks for text, image generation, and other commands.

Analogy: The AI Chat Room

Think of each #+begin_ai...#+end_ai block as your own chat room with the AI. When you enter a prompt, it’s like sending a message to the AI, and when it replies, it’s as if the AI is sharing its insights within the same chat room—keeping the context intact. Each new message you send can evolve from the previous one, allowing for a fluid and dynamic conversation.

Global Commands

Beyond just org-mode, many commands can be run globally:

• C-c M-a r – Prompt the AI using selected text.
• C-c M-a s – Summarize the selected text.
• C-c M-a p – Run prompts across multiple files.

Installation

Here’s how to get the org-ai up and running:

1. Add to your package archives in Emacs:

   (add-to-list 'package-archives
            '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)

2. Install the package:

   (package-install 'org-ai)

3. Set up your API keys following the guidelines in the README.

FAQ

If you have questions like “Is this OpenAI specific?” or “How can I use local models?” you’ll find answers scattered throughout this guide.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and solutions:

• Problem: I can’t generate texts or images.
• Solution: Ensure that you have set your API keys correctly. Review the installation guide for OpenAI or Azure configurations.
• Problem: The AI isn’t responding properly.
• Solution: Check your input format and syntax, especially your prompts within the #+begin_ai blocks.
• Problem: Speech input/output isn’t working.
• Solution: Follow the detailed instructions for setting up speech recognition tools like Whisper or greader. Make sure your dependencies are correctly installed.
