Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Not a traditional NLE — some workflows awkward Overdub ethics require care	Google-only Can be slow on large corpora	Expensive for just notes Smaller community than Obsidian
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.	S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.	A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.
