Ellama is a tool for interacting with large language models from Emacs. It allows you to ask questions and receive responses from the LLMs. Ellama can perform various tasks such as translation, code review, summarization, enhancing grammar/spelling or wording and more through the Emacs interface. Ellama natively supports streaming output, making it effortless to use with your preferred text editor.
gptel is a simple Large Language Model chat client for Emacs, with support for multiple models and backends. It works in the spirit of Emacs, available at any time and uniformly in any buffer.
So, for me, a substantial amount of the benefit of using emacs software packages is that I've spent a lot of time learning emacs functionality, and so if I use software in emacs, then I get to continue using all of that functionality. Like, I can set bookmarks, reconfigure colors, bounce around by paragraphs or searching for text, have elaborate completion functionality, macros, stuff like that.
Yeah, I didn't give a complete list, just the ones I've used. The gptel page lists some of the other emacs LLM clients: chatgpt-shell, org-ai, superchat, claude-code-ide, claude-code.el, agent-shell, aidermacs, aider.el, copilot.el, minuet.

I have experience with Prolog.
My condolences
It's a great bridge into modern logic programming languages, which are extremely cool.
Emacs also has support for LLM chatbots and code stuff.

Yes but so does my os. Everything emacs can do, my os already does. I don't get emacs.
Everything emacs can do, my OS can as well. Emacs is my OS
As the saying goes, EMacs is a great operating system, the only thing it’s missing is a good text editor

Why have an os when emacs already does it all
Does it run on bare metal? Does it have drivers?
Do you exclusively use cp/mv instead of a gui/tui file manager?
Agent-shell...
