On April 1st, we had the 17th meeting of the [visual-tools group](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/visual-tools/), a group for collaborations across different Clojure projects for literate programming and data visualization.
This time, coming back after a break of a few months, we had updates from the creators of various projects. After the presentations, we had a long (mostly unrecorded) 2-hour discussion, mostly around the advances of large language models and then around our plans for compatibility across tools.
## Summary
- @Markus_Agwin demonstrated [a new way of blogging](https://kloimhardt.github.io/blog/html/sicmutils-as-js-book-part1.html) about [SICMUtils](https://github.com/sicmutils/sicmutils), using [Klipse](https://blog.klipse.tech/javascript/2016/06/20/blog-javascript.html) plus a little Scheme syntax to JavaScript compiler
- @mauricioszabo: updated about the [Pulsar](https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar) editor
- @mjdowney: discussed rendering structured output from ChatGPT interactively using a new Chrome extension: [rendergpt](https://github.com/matthewdowney/rendergpt)
- @mauricioszabo also shared [a link](https://gitlab.com/clj-editors/star-ring/-/blob/master/src/minivac/core.cljs) to the POC ChatGPT plugin for Pulsar.
- @Lukas_Domagala and @djblue discussed the new, deeper [Portal](https://github.com/djblue/portal)/[Calva Notebook](https://calva.io/notebooks/) integration
- @daslu discussed a few updates about the [Kindly](https://scicloj.github.io/kindly/) convention for namespace-as-a-notebook (in particular, support for Clerk & Quarto rendering).
