Positioned as an autonomous software engineer: hand it a task and it plans and executes

Go to official siteCompare with Codex

Good for

  • Handing off a well-specified, self-contained task
  • Asynchronous execution that does not occupy your time
  • Highly repetitive engineering chores

Not for

  • Vague work needing heavy back-and-forth
  • Critical paths with near-zero tolerance for rework
  • Individual developers on a tight budget

We deliberately put “not for” on the same screen — a review that only lists strengths carries no information.
