Where it wins

It earns its keep when the job is exactly what it’s built for. In our testing the workflow felt native rather than bolted on, and the output needed less cleanup than the cheaper alternatives.

Where it lags

No tool is everything. The edges show when you push past its core use case — then you’re fighting the UI instead of using it. Know the lane.

Bottom line

Browser IDE with an agent. Best for spinning up and shipping from zero, anywhere.
