Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.

80/100 · ship

CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.

80/100 · ship

The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.

80/100 · ship

CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.
