Changed how I work completely
This is exactly what I was looking for. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. Integration with my existing tools was seamless — no friction at all. The accuracy has improved significantly with recent model updates.

Needs a lot of improvement

Mixed feelings, but ultimately positive. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. The recent updates have addressed most of my initial concerns. The mobile experience could use some work.

Does the job well
Mostly great, minor complaints. The AI suggestions are incredibly accurate and save me hours every week. The free tier is genuinely generous compared to competitors. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits. A staple in my tech stack now.

Really good — a few things to improve
Very good, with a few rough edges. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. Pricing is fair for the value you get. I'd love to see better export options. Looking forward to seeing how it improves.
