| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
