org-ai - Integrate Generative AI into Emacs org-mode for Seamless Text and Image Creation

org-ai: Unlocking the Power of AI in Emacs org-mode

Emacs enthusiasts and developers can now elevate their productivity with the org-ai minor mode, a remarkable extension for Emacs' org-mode. This tool provides seamless integration with generative AI models, offering users the ability to create text and images effortlessly. By harnessing the capabilities of popular AI models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and DALL-E, as well as Stable Diffusion, org-ai integrates advanced technology into the daily workflow of Emacs users.

Supported AI Technologies

org-ai currently supports interaction with:

OpenAI API: This includes access to ChatGPT, DALL-E, and various other text models. Users can even opt to run queries against the Azure API instead of directly interfacing with OpenAI.
Stable Diffusion: Through an integration with the stable-diffusion-webui, users can generate images with detailed prompts.

Key Functionalities

Within an Emacs org-mode buffer, users can:

Generate Text: Using ChatGPT, users can create text-based content with personalized prompts, controlling both system and user interactions.
Speech Interaction: Engage in conversations with AI using speech input and output features.
Create Images: Generate images and variations using text prompts through Stable Diffusion or DALL-E.
Global Commands: Use org-ai's features outside org-mode to interact with selected text or across multiple files.

Using org-ai

One of org-ai's standout features is the #+begin_ai...#+end_ai blocks. These allow users to:

Conduct conversational interactions with AI.
Translate text queries directly into image outputs.
Incorporate syntax highlighting for better readability.
Use speech recognition for input and output, harnessing tools like Whisper and TTS engines.

Demos: ChatGPT and DALL-E in Action

ChatGPT in org-mode

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

org-ai facilitates conversations by letting users type their queries within these blocks and receive responses directly in the buffer, mimicking a chat experience.

DALL-E in org-mode

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

With DALL-E integration, users can create stunning images based on simple descriptive prompts.

Image Variations and Advanced Features

Users can also create image variations by referencing existing images, making it a versatile tool for creative tasks. Advanced commands allow modifications of project files or code refactoring, expanding org-ai’s utility beyond simple tasks.

Installation and Setup

Integration of org-ai is streamlined through common package managers like Melpa. It requires an OpenAI account for API access and the setup of optional speech input/output tools for full functionality.

Conclusion

org-ai transforms Emacs into a dynamic platform leveraging AI for text and image generation. By fusing the power of AI with the flexibility of Emacs, org-ai enhances productivity and creativity for developers and text enthusiasts alike, making it an invaluable asset in the world of text editing and generation.
