Looks cool! I've been using & contributing to Lightrail (https://github.com/lightrail-ai/lightrail). It's more dev-focused but hopefully, it's developing in a similar direction (long-term memory/context, integrations, etc) while still being local-first / OSS. I definitely think we're heading for a future where persistent AI assistants play a big role, and I'm really hoping the ones that win out are more open & private!
In Dot by New Computer
Not the GP, but I've been working on an open platform [0] for integrating OpenAI APIs with other tools (VSCode, JupyterLab, bash, chrome, etc) that you might find interesting, the VSCode integration supports editing specific files / sections etc. Also worth taking a look at Github Copilot Chat[1], it's a bit limited but in certain cases it works well for editing specific parts of files.

In ReactAgent: LLM Agent for React Coding
Lightrail: https://github.com/lightrail-ai/lightrail Basically, I think that LLMs will enable a whole new set of app UXes, and I'm trying to build a platform for those UXes. In a sense, a "shell" for LLM apps. It's a command-bar style UI with an SDK that makes it really easy to build functionality on top of LLMs / vector-dbs etc and to interact with other software/files (e.g. VSCode, Chrome, etc.). Currently very limited docs but if you're interested in building LLM workflows/tools, I'd love to collab!
