kagi.el README
Introduction
This package provides a shell to submit prompts to FastGPT, inspired by xenodium's chatgpt-shell.
Kagi is a relatively new ad-free search engine, offering additional services such as the Universal Summarizer or more notably FastGPT, their open source LLM offering. Some functionality is provided through an API.
Usage
- Make a Kagi account if you haven't done so already. An account is free, and comes with 100 trial searches.
- In your account settings, put a balance for the API part (note that this is a separate balance than the subscription). The recommendation is to start with a one-time charge of $5. A single query ranges from 1 to 5 cents typically, depending on the amount of tokens processed.
- In the API portal, create an API token. Put the result in
kagi-api-token
. - You're good to go: run the command
kagi-fastgpt-shell
and start prompting.
Installation and configuration
kagi.el is not on MELPA (yet?), so for now only Git access is possible.
Clone with:
git clone https://codeberg.org/bram85/kagi.el.git /path/to/kagi.el
Note that kagi.el has a dependency on the shell-maker package, which is available on MELPA.
You way want to load and configure the package with use-package
, for example put the following in your Emacs init file:
(use-package kagi
:commands kagi-fastgpt-shell
:ensure nil
:load-path "/path/to/kagi.el"
:custom
(kagi-api-token "ABCDEF")
;; or use a function, e.g. with the password-store package:
(kagi-api-token (lambda () (password-store-get "Kagi/API"))))
The token can be supplied directly as a string, but you could write a lambda to retrieve the token from a more secure location (e.g. pass(1)).
