chatgpt-shell in org-mode does not support chaining together multiple messages whereas org-assistant supports:

#+BEGIN_SRC ?

A

#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

A-response

#+END_EXAMPLE

#+BEGIN_SRC ?

B

#+END_SRC

Where if you run Ctrl-c Ctrl-C on the block it sends the conversation to chatgpt:

User: A

Assistant: A-response

User: B

This enables notebook style development if you are tinkering with a prompt and want to see how the responses cascade based on further input.

Oh, that's cool. I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Clarification question: When you press C-c C-c on the B block, what is sent to ChatGPT, only B or the whole previous conversation? If the latter, this would break Org Babel semantics. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of.

[tyler-dodge]

It's the whole previous conversation prior to the top level headline containing the block.

Makes sense, I won't be changing it from the current way. I think chatgpt-shell works more idiomatically in the org way in that context so that can be an alternative for people who prefer the former variant.
