;;; ai-config.el --- Configuration for AI Integrations -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;; author Craig Jennings <c@cjennings.net>
;;; Commentary:
;; Configuration for AI integrations in Emacs, focused on GPTel.
;;
;; Main Features:
;; - Quick toggle for AI assistant window (F9 or M-a t)
;; - Custom keymap (M-a prefix, overrides 'backwards-sentence') for AI-related commands.
;; - Enhanced org-mode conversation formatting with timestamps
;; allows switching models and easily compare and track responses.
;; - Various specialized AI directives (coder, reviewer, etc.)
;; - Context management for adding files/buffers to conversations
;; - Conversation persistence with save/load functionality
;; - Integration with Magit for code review
;;
;; Basic Workflow
;;
;; Using a side-chat window:
;; - Launch GPTel via F9 or M-a t, and chat in the AI-Assistant side window (C-<return> to send)
;; - Change system prompt (expertise, personalities) with M-a p
;; - Add context from files (M-a f) or buffers (M-a b)
;; - Save conversations with M-a s, load previous ones with M-a l
;; - Clear the conversation and start over with M-a x
;; Or in any buffer:
;; - Add directive as above, and select a region to rewrite with M-a r.
;;
;; Uses AI directives from ai-directives.el for specialized AI behaviors.

(require 'ai-directives)
