Integrates LLM query interface as a new tab in the existing Lookup panel (within Calibre's E-Book Viewer), following feedback from Kovid Goyal on MobileRead forums and GitHub. It allows for idiomatic interaction with selected text (currently using the OpenRouter.ai API). Key features include: conversational follow-ups on selected text; granular note-saving of AI responses to highlights; contextual review of conversation records on existing highlights; user-configurable settings for API key, model, and highlight color (the one used for LLM-created notes); and session cost estimation and API call tracking; and the sending of the book title + author (as context) to the LLM for improved relevance.
