gptel is a simple Large Language Model chat client for Emacs, with support for multiple models and backends. It works in the spirit of Emacs, available at any time and uniformly in any buffer.

------
- Interact with LLMs from anywhere in Emacs (any buffer, shell, minibuffer, wherever).
- LLM responses are in Markdown or Org markup.
- Supports multiple independent conversations, one-off ad hoc interactions and anything in between.
- Supports tool-use to equip LLMs with agentic capabilities.
- Supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration using [[https://github.com/lizqwerscott/mcp.el][mcp.el]].
- Supports multi-modal input (include images, documents).
- Supports "reasoning" content in LLM responses.
- Save chats as regular Markdown/Org/Text files and resume them later.
- Edit your previous prompts or LLM responses when continuing a conversation. These will be fed back to the model.
- Supports introspection, so you can see /exactly/ what will be sent. Inspect and modify queries before sending them.
- Pause multi-stage requests at an intermediate stage and resume them later.
- Don't like gptel's workflow? Use it to create your own for any supported model/backend with a [[https://github.com/karthink/gptel/wiki/Defining-custom-gptel-commands][simple API]].
gptel uses Curl if available, but falls back to the built-in url-retrieve to work without external dependencies.
