| 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. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. |
