| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | 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. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
