Blew away all expectations

Game changer for my workflow. The API is well-documented and easy to work with. The AI doesn't just suggest — it learns from my preferences over time. Best tool in this category, hands down.

Incredible — highly recommend

This is exactly what I was looking for. Integration with my existing tools was seamless — no friction at all. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. The accuracy has improved significantly with recent model updates. A staple in my tech stack now.

Good for some things, not others

Decent tool, not without issues. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive.
