Skeptical, then convinced
I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on custom AI agents and presets, and clean, modern interface caught me off guard. Feature depth varies by model is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.
Does the job
Pretty happy overall. Plugin ecosystem for tool use just works and works with vision, voice, and files. but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is custom AI agents and presets — handled better than most — and supports many AI providers in one UI. Worth the time if this is your use case.
Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Multi-model provider support is exactly what I needed, and plugin and agent marketplace. I do wish costs depend on third-party APIs, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
