| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
