Chat Mode

Engage in interactive conversations with AI models directly from your terminal using VoltX Chat.

Overview

VoltX Chat provides an interactive command-line interface to converse with various AI models you have configured. It allows for seamless switching between providers and models.

Starting a Chat Session

You can initiate a chat session in several ways:

Default Chat

Starts a chat session using your configured default provider and model. If no defaults are set, VoltX may prompt you or use the first available configured provider.

Chat with a Specific Provider

Starts a chat session using a specific provider. VoltX will use the default model configured for that provider, or prompt you if none is set.

voltx chat <provider-name>

Replace <provider-name> with the provider you want to use (e.g., openai, anthropic).

Temporary Model Selection

Starts a chat session with a specific provider but forces a temporary model selection for this session only. This overrides any configured defaults for the duration of the chat.

voltx chat <provider-name> --temp

Replace <provider-name> with the provider you want to use. VoltX will prompt you to select a model from that provider for this specific session.

Chat history is saved locally within your .voltx directory, allowing you to resume conversations later (feature details may vary).
