# AIChat [![CI](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/actions/workflows/ci.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/actions/workflows/ci.yaml) [![Crates](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/aichat.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/aichat) Use ChatGPT/GPT-3.5/GPT-4 in the terminal. AIChat in chat mode: ![chat mode](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4012553/226499667-4c6b261a-d897-41c7-956b-979b69da5982.gif) AIChat in command mode: ![command mode](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4012553/226499595-0b536c82-b039-4571-a077-0c40ad57f7db.png) ## Install ### With cargo ``` cargo install --force aichat ``` ### Binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows Download it from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/releases), unzip and add aichat to your $PATH. ## Features - Support chat and command modes - Predefine AI [roles](#roles) - Use GPT prompt easily - Powerful [Chat REPL](#chat-repl) - Context-aware conversation - Syntax highlighting markdown and 200 other languages - Stream output with hand-typing effect - Support multiple models - Support proxy connection - Dark/light theme - Save chat messages ## Config On first launch, aichat will guide you through the configuration. ``` > No config file, create a new one? Yes > OpenAI API Key: sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Use proxy? Yes > Set proxy: socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 > Save chat messages Yes ``` On completion, it will automatically create the configuration file. Of course, you can also manually set the configuration file. ```yaml api_key: "" # Request via https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys organization_id: "org-xxx" # optional, set organization id model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" # optional, choose a model temperature: 1.0 # optional, see https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#chat/create-temperature save: true # optional, If set true, aichat will save chat messages to message.md highlight: true # optional, Set false to turn highlight proxy: "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" # optional, set proxy server. e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080 or socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 conversation_first: false # optional, If set true, start a conversation immediately upon repl light_theme: false # optional, If set true, use light theme connect_timeout: 10 # optional, Set a timeout in seconds for connect to gpt. ``` > You can use `.info` to view the current configuration file path and roles file path. > You can use [Environment Variables](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/wiki/Environment-Variables) to customize certain configuration items. ### Roles We can let ChatGPT play a certain role through `prompt` to have it better generate what we want. We can predefine a batch of roles in `roles.yaml`. > We can get the location of `roles.yaml` through the repl's `.info` command or cli's `--info` option. For example, we can define a role: ```yaml - name: shell prompt: > I want you to act as a Linux shell expert. I want you to answer only with bash code. Do not provide explanations. ``` Let ChatGPT answer questions in the role of a Linux shell expert. ``` 〉.role shell shell〉 extract encrypted zipfile app.zip to /tmp/app mkdir /tmp/app unzip -P PASSWORD app.zip -d /tmp/app ``` We have provided many awesome [Role Examples](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/wiki/Role-Examples). ## Chat REPL aichat has a powerful Chat REPL. The Chat REPL supports: - Emacs keybinding - Command autocompletion - History search - Fish-style history autosuggestion hints - Edit/past multiline input - Undo support ### Multi-line editing **Type `{` or `(` at the beginning of the line to enter the multi-line editing mode.** In this mode you can type or paste multiple lines of text. Type the corresponding `}` or `)` at the end of the line to exit the mode and submit the content. ``` 〉{ convert json below to toml { "an": [ "arbitrarily", "nested" ], "data": "structure" }} ``` ### `.help` - Print help message ``` 〉.help .info Print the information .set Modify the configuration temporarily .model Choose a model .prompt Add a GPT prompt .role Select a role .clear role Clear the currently selected role .conversation Start a conversation. .clear conversation End current conversation. .history Print the history .clear history Clear the history .help Print this help message .exit Exit the REPL Type `{` to enter the multi-line editing mode, type '}' to exit the mode. Press Ctrl+C to abort readline, Ctrl+D to exit the REPL ``` ### `.info` - View current configuration information ``` 〉.info config_file /home/alice/.config/aichat/config.yaml roles_file /home/alice/.config/aichat/roles.yaml messages_file /home/alice/.config/aichat/messages.md api_key sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx organization_id - model gpt-3.5-turbo temperature - save true highlight true proxy - conversation_first false light_theme false connect_timeout 10 dry_run false ``` ### `.set` - Modify the configuration temporarily ``` 〉.set dry_run true 〉.set highlight false 〉.set save false 〉.set temperature 1.2 ``` ### `.model` - Choose a model ``` > .model gpt-4 > .model gpt-4-32k > .model gpt-3.5-turbo > .model gpt-3.5-turbo-16k ``` ### `.prompt` - Set GPT prompt When you set up a prompt, every message sent later will carry the prompt. ``` 〉{ .prompt I want you to translate the sentences I write into emojis. I will write the sentence, and you will express it with emojis. I just want you to express it with emojis. I want you to reply only with emojis. } Done P〉You are a genius 👉🧠💡👨‍🎓 P〉I'm embarrassed 🙈😳 ``` `.prompt` actually creates a temporary role internally, so **run `.clear role` to clear the prompt**. When you are satisfied with the prompt, add it to `roles.yaml` for later use. ### `.role` - Let the AI play a role Select a role: ``` 〉.role emoji name: emoji prompt: I want you to translate the sentences I write into emojis. I will write the sentence, and you will express it with emojis. I just want you to express it with emojis. I don't want you to reply with anything but emoji. When I need to tell you something in English, I will do it by wrapping it in curly brackets like {like this}. temperature: null ``` AI takes the role we specified: ``` emoji〉hello 👋 ``` Clear current selected role: ``` emoji〉.clear role 〉hello Hello there! How can I assist you today? ``` ### `.conversation` - start a context-aware conversation By default, aichat behaves in a one-off request/response manner. You can run `.conversation` to enter context-aware mode, or set `config.conversation_first` true to start a conversation immediately upon repl. ``` 〉.conversation $list 1 to 5, one per line 4089 1 2 3 4 5 $reverse the list 4065 5 4 3 2 1 ``` When entering conversation mode, prompt `〉` will change to `$`. A number will appear on the right, indicating how many tokens are left to use. Once the number becomes zero, you need to start a new conversation. Exit conversation mode: ``` $.clear conversation 4043 〉 ``` ## License Copyright (c) 2023 aichat-developers. aichat is made available under the terms of either the MIT License or the Apache License 2.0, at your option.
