Reviewer scorecard
“Perfect for prototyping. I described a dashboard and had a working app in 3 minutes. Not production-ready, but unbeatable for speed-to-demo.”
“First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.”
“Impressive demo, but the generated code is messy and you'll rewrite most of it. If you can't code, you can't fix what it breaks. Know what you're getting into.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“As a creator who needs quick landing pages and MVPs, this is a game-changer. I built a waitlist page with email capture in under 5 minutes.”
“Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.”
