Use GPT-3 inside Emacs

This Emacs Code extension allows you to use the official OpenAI API to generate code or natural language responses from OpenAI's GPT-3 to your questions, right within the editor.

💾 Installation

package.el

This package is available from JCS-ELPA. Install from these repositories then you should be good to go!

Normally, you don't need to add (require 'codegpt) to your configuration since most codegpt commands are autoload and can be called without loading the module!

use-package

If you are using use-package, add the following to your init.el file:

(use-package codegpt :ensure t)

or with straight.el:

(use-package codegpt
  :straight (codegpt :type git :host github :repo "emacs-openai/codegpt"))

Manual installation

Copy all .el files in this repository to ~/.emacs.d/lisp and add the following:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")
(require 'codegpt)

🔑 Obtaining API key

To use this extension, you will need an API key from OpenAI. To obtain one, follow these steps:

Go to OpenAI's website. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one or sign up using your Google or Microsoft account.
Click on the Create new secret key button.
Copy the key and paste into the 'API Key' field under the 'openai' custom group settings.

When you create a new account, you receive $18 in free credits for the API which you must use in the first 90 days. You can see pricing information here. 1000 tokens are about 700 words, and you can see the token count for each request at the end of the response in the sidebar.
