Codeium, Cody, and Claude each look interesting, and some of them brag about how many coding environments can use them. I have yet to see BBEdit on their lists.

Has anyone gotten any of the AI coding assistants to work inside of BBEdit?

Hi Greg!

I like your question. 

There's a new document type, "ChatGPT Worksheet". This is created from File => New as with other document types, and provides an interface for conversational exchanges with ChatGPT.

HTH!

I'm familiar with the ChatGPT Worksheet, but that seems to require a paid subscription. There are other AI helpers that are currently free -- or at least have a free level -- that would be nice to able to incorporate instead of ChatGPT.

Greg,
AFAIK, OpenAI is the only vendor BBEdit works with at the moment unless you want to run a local AI model. I'm hoping Bare Bones will add the ability to specify a custom URL for the AI API.

This is how you run a local AI model with a shell worksheet (assuming you've got it installed already).

llama.cpp -m /Users/james/Downloads/dolphin-2.6-mistral-7b-dpo-laser.Q6_K.gguf -i --interactive-first <press cntl-return or number-pad enter>

.... (skipped lots of output)

Hello Llama. <- my prompt

v--- The AI's reply...

I'm going to tell you a story about a magical llama that could transform into a superhero named "Llamanator." The story is set in the mystical land of Llamaville, where all the animals lived happily together and shared their gifts with each other.

One day, as the sun began to set over Llamaville, an evil sorcerer named Wraiththorn arrived with his army of monstrous creatures. He had come to steal the magic jewels that protected the village from harm.
