More precisely, as I understand it, “genie" is an anglicization of its Arabic equivalent, “jinn"; Efrit is a specific kind of jinn.

I needed to remove the uvicorn version constraint when importing the project to uv to get it to find a version solution.Initially I thought you could send it directly to Gemini but apparently you need to proxy and translate the responses.

It's terrible at multi-step tasks right now. I'm evolving it to work more like claude code.
(I use the past tense, because Emigo has not been updated in a quarter of a year, which seems as if it may as well be decades in the timeline of this sort of stuff.)
But, I cannot seem to get past this error when I run claude-code-ide: "Symbol’s function definition is void: project-root" I know this is defined in project.el, but claude has been surprisingly unhelpful at fixing this issue.
I'm feeling a bit frustrated by the state of emacs packages lately. I've used emacs for 30 years and it feels like things are getting worse.
This is turn 4. Focus on any remaining tasks that haven't been completed yet. Don't repeat work that was already done in previous turns.
Assistant: I notice from the context that we're in a directory that might be related to a xxx project. Let me try to find and open the yyyy.ts file.

I'm working on evolving it into something that's not so transactional -- it will work more like claude code. Didn't realize it was going to hit the front page today. I'll poke at it this weekend and send an update.
After reading your wikipedia page, I didn't realize we were both at UWash CS at the same time. Small world.
I'm more than happy to work with you to get it working, with the caveat that it actually kind of sucks right now. It's no Claude Code. But I am quickly evolving it in that direction.

Claude is remarkably effective at writing elisp I surprisingly found. I had it whip up a mode today for something today (Notation3/N3 RDF triples) complete with etags support, etc. and it just... did it.
