Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Optimized searches for developers based on known tech stack and tool integrations e.g. GitHub. Choose whether to use on-device only or cloud augmented LLM searches. Standalone desktop app and IDE integrations. Can optionally scan workflows in other apps e.g. discussions in chat, web browsing, to add context to searches.

Tradeoffs

Non-native app (Electron), but that does mean it is cross-platform.
