- +Strong knowledge-base grounding with continuous sync and source citations reduces hallucination
- +Model-agnostic (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) with enterprise compliance (SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA)
- -Business and Enterprise pricing is not public; only the free Starter tier has listed limits
- -Usage is metered in AI credits, which can make heavy automation cost unpredictable
