Weaknesses

  • Google-only
  • Can be slow on large corpora
  • Still pre-launch / beta — zero proven track record and no public pricing yet
  • iPhone-only by design, which immediately locks out half the smartphone market
  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Expensive at scale
  • Still needs post-editing
Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.The concept is genuinely compelling — turning the home screen into a living AI layer is a smarter bet than yet another chat interface — but this is vaporware until it ships publicly and we see whether Apple's sandbox lets it breathe. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video.
