I gave it a whirl last night with a toy project I’m tinkering with. Linked it to my copilot pro account, and engaged with premium Claude Sonnet 4 (because the free GPT-4.1 is utterly rubbish at elixir, IMO).
I asked for it to add live view actions to add/edit/delete records for a three-field form. Worked pretty well, I was pleased with the result. However, when I checked my premium usage for the month, this action blasted through 46.1% of my free premium requests allotment.
Rolling back my changes and doing the same thing in the agent panel in Zed Preview took 2.5%. Probably something about the agent performing UI actions would account for this discrepancy? While I’m happy to kick the tires, from my first experience Tidewave seems like a great tool for wealthy hobbyists or developers with access to the company credit card.
