The assistant breaks complex code into simple language which is great for learning and onboarding new team members, it can be used to propose and preview code edits, then apply them safely with just one click rollback if something goes wrong, the free basic assistant tier is very generous for questions, explanations and small fixes which can be perfect for students and small teams who just want to learn.

I like this product a lot due to how easy it is to use in general. Its easily accessible from anywhere, it helps you code and prototype apps easier, and the AI agent allows prompts to auto generate visualizations for you to get you pushing forward on your projects.

The way the advanced assistant is billed can get very expensive if you rely on it heavily for large-scale refactoring, for example. The idea of billing per action is hard for the client, and sometimes the assistant over-explains or gives too many options which can slow down the workflow instead of speeding it up. It also still struggles with very niche frameworks or older libraries, and occasionally suggests outdated patterns that need manual correction.

Results are not tested before making changes in the requirements. Creates unwanted pages when asked to review the working of any functionality.

Some main weaknesses that appear while using this product are the performance and inconsistency. Performance may decrease depending on the size of the project, especially if you are not paying for the subscription. Granted, you obviously can't always expect the top tier for a free product. Similar to the performance there is also inconsistency with the AI agent, though that is also due to things a user can't really help as the AI is only so helpful on a day-to-day basis where the longer it's in effect the more helpful it will become over time. It also can be hard with bigger projects which cause things to feel like they are missing due to it not being a dedicated client but is a good way to start a project.
