Reviewer scorecard
“API integration is clean. The prompt rewriting feature improves results but can be bypassed for precise control.”
“The fastest way to create clean flowcharts and wireframes. Constraints that force good design are a feature, not a bug.”
“Good but not as good as Midjourney for artistic work. The style is recognizably 'DALL-E' which limits creative range.”
“Beautiful output with zero design effort. The auto-layout for flowcharts is magical compared to manual tools.”
“Reliable, well-documented API, integrated into ChatGPT. The safe choice for product image generation.”
“Intentionally limited scope means it does a few things exceptionally well. Refreshing in a market of bloated tools.”
