My current favorite (and free) workflow:

1. Drop project files into https://files2prompt.com to copy a prompt with all file contents

2. Paste into https://aistudio.google.com/ and set a low (or 0) temperature and low top_p

Since Gemini 2.5 Pro is free in AI Studio at the moment, and there's a 1M token limit, this works for most things I need. Cursor is better in some cases where I need a bunch of small edits across a bunch of different files.

Just curious, why change the temp to 0

I've found that to be best for coding, especially when you're describing the exact behavior you want implemented. Plus the format it returns is very consistent (not the case in the various chat UIs).

You don’t want the model to stray or become too inventive when coding.
