Chat is a fairly terrible interface for real work, since you can’t modify anything, meaning the context can get easily poisoned. I much prefer the API playgrounds, and third party interfaces, that slow editing both my input and the responses.
I've been using 16x Prompt to construct prompts with source code context and pasting the final prompt into ChatGPT web UI: https://prompt.16x.engineer/

What 3rd party tools do you recommend?

Disclosure: I built it.
Shameless plug. I have a VS Code extension that's very nearly ready.
Codespin CLI tools (ready to use): https://github.com/codespin-ai/codespin
VS Code extension for the CLI tool (soon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TJqosFmkao
I'll do a Show HN in a week or two.
For iOS, I like Pal Chat: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pal-chat-ai-chat-client/id6447...
For desktop, I've switched to using the playgrounds for each. I haven't found a custom client that's able to keep up with them.
