DocXter Tier 3 Review: Promising, Yet Room for Growth
I’ve updated my review to reflect recent changes and improvements in DocXter.
I've been using DocXter Tier 3 for three months and am overall satisfied. Here's my breakdown:
### Pros:
- **Effective Organization:** It organizes documents well and allows efficient searching.
- **AI Personalities:** The pre-set AI personalities fit their purpose.
- **Model Choices:** Uses OpenAI and Anthropic, which are adequate.
- **User-Friendly Switches:** Easily switch use cases or models.
- **Improved Interface:** Added an easy "start" button and removed the "upgrade" button.
### Cons:
- **Parsing Issues:** Document parsing can fail post-processing, with no easy retry option. Deleting and redoing is the only fix, though credits aren’t used.
- **Help Chat Issues:** Promises email follow-up, but nothing happens.
- **AI Agents Update:** The promised AI agents are just expanded AI personalities with new graphics. Selection is faster, but there are too many to easily identify the right one.
- **Navigation Limitations:** No navigation among collections, and within a single file collection, the model is still "deaf."
- **Missing Automation:** Needs an "Inbox" collection for email/API document sending. Pre-processing and collection suggestions would enhance usability. An automated filter like Gmail's would be beneficial.
Overall, as an evolving software, I'm satisfied. I view the quirks as growing pains and expect improvements like AI Agents and better document processing. I give it five tacos because the founders are targeting a critical user niche and are working hard. However, they need to balance coding with strategic planning to ensure long-term success. Speed isn’t always the best approach.
