If you do not at least have a tool to feed the context of the LLM then you will always have a b*tch of an experience, I believe. We tried out an LLM in our company which had almost no context management. It sucked. Everyone hated it.

Queue copilot (which is arguably likelty not the ultimate toolchain) which can at least read files it needs etc, either explicitly or implicitly, is a whole other ballgame and it works 100x better.
