I currently use LLMs as a glorified Stack Overflow. If I want to start integrating an LLM like Gemini 2.5 PRO into my IDE (I use Visual Studio Code), whats the best way to do this? I don't want to use a platform like Cursor or Claude Code which takes me away from my IDE.

Cursor is an IDE. You can use its powerful (but occasionally wrong) autocomplete, and start asking it to do small coding tasks using the Ctrl+L side window.

I don't either but unfortunately Cursor is better than all the other plugins for IDEs like JetBrains. I just tab over to cursor and prompt it, then edit the code in my IDE of choice.
