Very useful, mostly polished

Very good, with a few rough edges. The customization options let me tailor it to my exact workflow. The output quality surprised me — it actually sounds human. The API is well-documented and easy to work with. Some features feel half-baked — hopefully they'll improve. Five stars — no hesitation.

Does the job well

Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Integration with my existing tools was seamless — no friction at all. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits. Five stars — no hesitation.

Had some issues

Disappointed with the experience. Customer support responded within hours and solved my issue. Reduced the time I spend on this task by about 70%.

Good for some things, not others

Works okay, not life-changing. The accuracy has improved significantly with recent model updates.

Okay product, not amazing

Average experience, average results. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. The AI doesn't just suggest — it learns from my preferences over time.
