Great tool, minor quibbles
Very good, with a few rough edges. I use this daily and it's become essential to how I work. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. The UI takes some getting used to. Definitely worth trying.

Needs a lot of improvement
Lots of bugs and issues. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. The free tier is genuinely generous compared to competitors. The learning curve was steeper than expected.

Mixed experience overall

Does what it promises and does it well. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. The collaboration features are genuinely well thought-out. I use this daily and it's become essential to how I work. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive. Five stars — no hesitation.
