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.

Impressed with the results

Does what it promises and does it well. The recent updates have addressed most of my initial concerns. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. The ROI was clear within the first week of using it. A staple in my tech stack now.
