Cons

Natural-language descriptions can be ambiguous for complex edge cases
Less transparent than a visual flow for auditing exact automation logic

Code-generating automation can be harder to audit line-by-line than a visual flowchart for non-technical reviewers
Total funding ($3.8M) is modest next to larger automation platforms with deeper pockets
