Changed how I work completely
Best-in-class, period. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. Customer support responded within hours and solved my issue. My team adopted this immediately after I shared it with them.

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.
