OK, first of all, really cool. I don't think I knew this! Thank you.

But how about a next step that I use LLMs for - taking this text from a document and reformatting it as, say, bullet points.

E.g. I literally had this in a Jupyter notebook: [some_var_name, some_other_name, ...] and a bunch of those, and I wanted them redone as bullet points. It was a bit more complicated than that but I'm simplifying for the example. I literally took a screenshot, through it in ChatGPT and got back the correctly-formatted list.

There are other ways to solve something like this of course (normally I'd put it in VSCode and use multiple cursors or macros), but I don't think there's anything that can go from a screenshot and a one-sentence description, to having finished the task, all in a single tool (that can also solve 100 other problems that come up in my work similarly easily).




I've been writing macros for that sort of thing for 20 years. I started off writing them in Notepad++, but write the in Emacs now. If we're talking about tools that solve 100 problems easily, I think I'm going to stick to Emacs.
