Best in class, no question
One of the best investments I've made. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. Best tool in this category, hands down.

Very useful, mostly polished
Mostly great, minor complaints. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive. A staple in my tech stack now.

Impressed with the results
Good value for the price. The API is well-documented and easy to work with. The AI doesn't just suggest — it learns from my preferences over time. The accuracy has improved significantly with recent model updates. The learning curve was steeper than expected.

Disappointing experience
Disappointed with the experience. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried.
