Yeah, it's actually quite decent, but I still feel that most of those features are basic UX that really shouldn't be application/vendor tied.

I found Goose (by Block) - https://block.github.io/goose - much better in this regard. Granted it perhaps doesn't have the app tie ins that most other providers do, but I can kinda just ask it to perform tasks in a specific kind of folder and it does, using whatever provider I want.

I got the GLM coding plan earlier, and given its generous rate limits, I found using it to do tedious tasks (like folder organization, which is perhaps my greatest weakness; especially Downloads) was a true addition to my productivity.

I feel there's a lot of scope for applications to focus on task contexts (with/without code agents having a ton of files like AGENTS.md, CRUSH.md, CURSOR.md spammed around) in specific folder bounds with proper user sandboxing.
