  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Not a full Excel replacement for heavy users
  • Integrations best on paid tiers
  • Google-only
  • Can be slow on large corpora
Kai's verdictA-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.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.)A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
