September 2026 Emacs Meetup recap.

Good discussions. Various topics. We went over three hours, so I had to make a shorter recap video.   / emacs_atx_meetup_this_thursday_september_3rd   --- We've talked some good amount of gptel-related stuff: Jon mentioned introspective abilities, being able to ask an agent questions about active Emacs instance and troubleshooting is very nice. Karhink published a video two weeks ago    • Play your LLM like an instrument   My favorite feature of gptel is gptel-send - being able to chat with an LLM from just about any buffer is very cool. I made a Consult font picker for the buffer -   / what_it_feels_like_to_use_emacs_these_days   Groups in gptel model picker magit-gha-badge - https://github.com/agzam/magit-gha-ba... pdf-text - https://github.com/agzam/pdf-text Discussion around avy, avy-dispatch-alist and the actions key help display. https://github.com/agzam/.emacs.d/com... https://karthinks.com/software/avy-ca... https://github.com/karthink/.emacs.d/... gptel's new feature - steering with C-u Blaine demoes https://github.com/MooersLab/writing-...
