24 alternatives to ChatGPT in Emacs

I noticed there wasn't any and wrote a small wrapper around ChatGPT. I found myself using ChatGPT to code and generate documentation, but copy and paste is a bit difficult. Emacs integration makes it extensible with custom prompts and all, based on region selected.

ChatGPT in Emacs is a wrapper that integrates OpenAI's ChatGPT directly into the Emacs text editor. It allows developers to use ChatGPT for coding and documentation generation without leaving their editor, eliminating… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…

    Hi HN, As a developer, I much prefer to write code than read other people’s code. But most projects I work on involve other developers so it’s hard to avoid. Often I find it really hard to quickly parse other people’s code so I thought maybe ChatGPT could help. ChatGPT does a really nice job of giving clear explanations when you paste in code and ask it to explain it. But the interface is a bit of a pain to use if you’re using it many times a day.
