Flow.Launcher.Plugin.AI-Assistant-Enhanced

This repository is a fork of ShamanicArts/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.AI-Assistant.

The Flow Launcher plugin connects to the desired model via any OpenAI API-compatible provider (such as OpenRouter), allowing you to quickly ask the AI model anything directly from your launcher.

Features

• Query AI models directly from Flow Launcher
• Uses delimiter-based command pattern (||) to trigger queries
• API key can be set via environment variable for security
• Results can be copied to clipboard or opened in Notepad
• Supports multiple AI models through OpenAI API-compatible providers
• Customizable system prompt
• Can change the text editor to another text editor
• Ability to enable/disable reasoning mode

Installation

### Method 1: Via Flow Launcher (Deprecated for this fork)

1. Open Flow Launcher
2. Type the following command: pm install AI Assistant
3. Press Enter to install

### Method 2: Plugin Store (Deprecated for this fork)

1. Open Flow Launcher Settings
2. Navigate to the "Plugin Store" tab
3. Search for "AI Assistant"
4. Click "Install"

Note: These methods do not work with this fork; you will install the original version this way.

Method 3: Manual Installation

1. Download the latest release from the Releases page
2. Extract the zip file to %APPDATA%\FlowLauncher\Plugins
3. Restart Flow Launcher

Configuration

Setting the API Key

For security, your OpenRouter API key should be set as an environment variable:

1. Create an environment variable named FLOWLLM_API_KEY with your API key from OpenRouter or another OpenAI-compatible provider.
2. Restart Flow Launcher to apply the changes

Settings

The plugin supports the following settings:

• default_model: The AI model to use (default: "deepseek/deepseek-chat:free")
• delimiter: Symbol that indicates when to send a prompt (default: "||")

Usage

Entering a Prompt

1. Type ai followed by your question and the delimiter:

   ai What is quantum computing? ||
   

Receiving Results

2. The plugin will display the AI's response with two options:
   • AI Response: Click to copy the full response to clipboard
   • Open in Notepad: Click to open the response in Notepad for viewing or editing

Viewing the Result in Notepad

3. If you choose to open the response in Notepad:

   

Example Queries

• ai Explain the theory of relativity in simple terms ||
• ai Write a short Python script to calculate Fibonacci numbers ||
• ai What's the capital of France? ||

Troubleshooting

• API Key not set: Make sure the FLOWLLM_API_KEY environment variable is set correctly
• No response: Ensure you're adding the delimiter (||) at the end of your query
• Models not loading: Check your internet connection and API key validity
