| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | Symphony is the most architecturally serious 'issue tracker as control plane' approach yet — 15K GitHub stars in weeks confirms the idea resonates — but it's still a rough, self-hosted engineering preview that demands Elixir chops and a Linear-only workflow. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
