Good value, works well
Does what it promises and does it well. The onboarding flow was smooth and I was productive from day one. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers.

Not worth it for me
Disappointed with the experience. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. Pricing is fair for the value you get. A few missing integrations I'd like to see added.

Changed how I work completely
This is exactly what I was looking for. The API is well-documented and easy to work with. My team adopted this immediately after I shared it with them. Performance is fast — no noticeable latency even on large inputs. Definitely worth trying.
