  • Confabulates on niche facts
Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.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.)B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.
