| 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.) | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. |
