- Praise: Congratulations with your launch! I suspect the product market fit for tools like these will be huge, especially for SMBs lacking the budget for complex solutions.
- Praise: Awesome launch and good pricing. We built a similar version in our org that met a real need and worked fabulously.
- Praise: I like the security-first posture. The audit control and permissions management around connectors is great!
- Concern: Any call the agent makes to an external connector is reviewed by an LLM judge — but how reliable is that? It shows a lack of understanding of basic security posture.
- Concern: We assume LLMs can always be fooled, so the judge is just one step of the verification process, highlighting potential weaknesses in security.
