Solid product, recommended

Genuinely useful — glad I tried it. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. My team adopted this immediately after I shared it with them. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits.

Has potential, needs polish

Has potential, but needs polish. The API is well-documented and easy to work with. The AI doesn't just suggest — it learns from my preferences over time. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits.

Good for some things, not others

Useful but frustrating at times. The ROI was clear within the first week of using it. The free tier is genuinely generous compared to competitors. The UI takes some getting used to.

Best-in-class, period. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. Highly recommend.

Had high hopes, fell short. The recent updates have addressed most of my initial concerns. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. Occasional slowdowns during peak hours.
