I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is image and slide generation in Slides — handled better than most — and natural language interface for complex tasks. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on image and slide generation in Slides, and supports both productivity and developer workflows caught me off guard. Requires a Google Workspace or Cloud subscription is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.
