The role consists of a prompt and model configuration. Session Maintain context-aware conversations through sessions, ensuring continuity in interactions. 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. RAG Integrate external documents into your LLM conversations for more accurate and contextually relevant responses. 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. AI Agents (CLI version of OpenAI GPTs) AI Agent = Instructions (Prompt) + Tools (Function Callings) + Documents (RAG).
