| Kai's verdict | If your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. |
