- -Token-based usage cost can rise quickly on complex or long-running builds
- -Output needs human review and iteration; it is not a hands-off autonomous engineer
Ellipsis
- +Goes beyond comments: opens and updates PRs with working, tested fixes
- +Responds to natural-language @-mentions to implement changes
- +Executes generated code internally to validate before proposing it
- -Generated PRs still require human review and merge
- -Smaller, younger company than the larger review incumbents
