Solid product, recommended
Does what it promises and does it well. Reduced the time I spend on this task by about 70%. The recent updates have addressed most of my initial concerns. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits.

Good for some things, not others
Works okay, not life-changing. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. Some features feel half-baked — hopefully they'll improve.
