# Emacs, editors, and LLM driven workflows
Andrew Hyatt (he/him) - ‪@andrewhyatt.bsky.social‬, <mailto:ahyatt@gmail.com>

This talk will outline the major ways LLMs are changing the world of
editors.  There are a few different ways that LLMs are being used now:
smart completion, smart feedback, ad-hoc addition and transformation, and
out-of-band instructions which are typically done outside of the editor.
What are the current Emacs solutions for these, and what does it mean for
Emacs?

-   Intro and state of the art of LLMs and their workflow modalities that are currently used
-   Smart completion: Emacs solutions and demo
-   Smart feedback: Emacs solutions and demo
-   Ad-hoc addition and transformation: Gptel, ellama, and other tools; several demos
-   Out-of-band instructions: Aider, Claude Code, and more.
-   Thoughts for what it an editor is for, for those working with LLMs
-   Possible futures, and what these mean for Emacs, for editors in general, and for free software.

About the speaker:

Andrew Hyatt is a software engineer, and Emacs package author (llm,
