Depends.

I’ve been actively using the first tier paid version of:

- GPT - Claude - Gemini

Usually it’s via the cli tool. (Codex, Claude code, Gemini cli)

I have a bunch of scripts setup that write to the tmux pane that has these chats open - so I’ll visually highlight something nvim and pipe that into either of the panes that have one of these tools open and start a discussion.

If I want it to read the full file, I’ll just use the TUIs search (they all use the @ prefix to search for files) and then discuss. If I want to pipe a few files, I’ll add the files I want to nvim quickfix list of literally pipe the files I want to a markdown file (with a full path) and discuss.

So yes - the chat interface in these cli tools mostly. I’m one of those devs that don’t leave the terminal much lol
