In the end we decided to NOT purchase Greptile as there were enough "not quite there" issues that made it more trouble than worthwhile

Helped: Occasionally offered better insights than Cursor.

Got in the way: Overwrote PR descriptions and argued with itself in comments.

… While Greptile did occasionally offer better insights than Cursor, it also exhibited strange behavior such as entirely overwriting PR descriptions with its own text and occasionally arguing with itself in the comments. In the end we decided to NOT purchase Greptile as there were enough "not quite there" issues that made it more trouble than worthwhile. I am certain, though, that the Greptile team will resolve all those problems and I wish them the best of luck!
