Lazarus AI assistant - AIssist

This directory contains an implementation of a Lazarus AI assistent. There are several directories and packages.

To install, install the following packages in the correct order:

• In the components/chatcontrol directory, install the lazchatctrl package. This package contains the lazarus chat controls, needed in some of the forms and demos.

• Install the ./api/lazllms.lpk package in the api dir. This package contains an abstract 'LLM client' API. It relies on API providers to implement actual APIs: Currently Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and OLLama are supported. The former JanAI package is replaced by the ChatGPT API.

• Install the ide/laz_aissist package. This package contains the actual integration of the AI client in the Lazarus IDE. It registers the following things:

  • a menu entry in the 'View' menu called 'AIssist chat'.
  • A settings page in the tools - options menu: the 'AI Assistant options' page. Here you must set :
    • The protocol to use (currently only the JanAI/ChatGPT API is supported)
    • The URL where the AI requests must be sent
    • The model you wish to use.
    • The maximum lengt of the AI replies
  • A "source" menu entry 'AI explain selected code' which will launch the AI and lets the AI provide an explanation of the selected code.

The Demos directory contains a console and GUI demo of the LLMClient class and the various LLM provider APIS.

They serve to demonstrate the API and can be used separately from the IDE.
