Strong product overall
Pleasantly surprised by the quality. The onboarding flow was smooth and I was productive from day one. I use this daily and it's become essential to how I work. My team adopted this immediately after I shared it with them. I'd love to see better export options.

Mixed experience overall
Good for some things, lacking in others. The AI suggestions are incredibly accurate and save me hours every week. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. Occasional slowdowns during peak hours.

Mixed experience overall
Good for some things, lacking in others. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits.
