#Role

Customize roles to tailor LLM behavior, enhancing interaction efficiency and boosting productivity.

aichat-role

The role consists of a prompt and model configuration.

#Session

Maintain context-aware conversations through sessions, ensuring continuity in interactions.

aichat-session

The left side uses a session, while the right side does not use a session.

#Macro

Streamline repetitive tasks by combining a series of REPL commands into a custom macro.

aichat-macro

#RAG

Integrate external documents into your LLM conversations for more accurate and contextually relevant responses.

aichat-rag

#Function Calling

Function calling supercharges LLMs by connecting them to external tools and data sources. This unlocks a world of possibilities, enabling LLMs to go beyond their core capabilities and tackle a wider range of tasks.

We have created a new repository https://github.com/sigoden/llm-functions to help you make the most of this feature.

#AI Tools & MCP

Integrate external tools to automate tasks, retrieve information, and perform actions directly within your workflow.

aichat-tool

#AI Agents (CLI version of OpenAI GPTs)

AI Agent = Instructions (Prompt) + Tools (Function Callings) + Documents (RAG).

aichat-agent

#Local Server Capabilities

AIChat includes a lightweight built-in HTTP server for easy deployment.
