Working with Web LLMs

Aider can efficiently work with LLMs via their web interfaces:

Copy-Paste Mode:

aider --copy-paste

Workflow:

1. Aider automatically copies code context to clipboard when you add files
2. Paste into web LLM interface and ask for changes
3. Copy the LLM's response to clipboard
4. Aider auto-detects the clipboard content and applies changes

Use Cases:

• Workplace restrictions on API usage
• Access to web-only LLMs
• Cost-effective use of premium models

This feature is designed to comply with web LLM Terms of Service by keeping the web UI interaction manual while streamlining the local file operations.
