Great tool, minor quibbles
Very good, with a few rough edges. The ROI was clear within the first week of using it. A few missing integrations I'd like to see added. My team is very happy with the results.

Has potential, needs polish
Has potential, but needs polish. The API is well-documented and easy to work with. The AI doesn't just suggest — it learns from my preferences over time. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits.
