It costs $360 a year. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
