	Perplexity S	Claude Code S	Skye A	Gamma A
Tagline	AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater.	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	An agentic iPhone home screen that replaces your static icon grid with AI widgets that proactively surface health, calendar, finance, and local context — without you having to open a single app.	AI slide decks that don't look AI-generated.
Category	Research	Coding	Agents	Productivity
Pricing	Free + $20/mo Pro	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Waitlist / Beta (pricing not yet disclosed)	Free + $10-$20/mo
Best for	Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	iPhone power users who are frustrated that Siri is still reactive and want their home screen to actually anticipate their day.	Pitch decks, proposals, internal presentations — fast.
Strengths	Sources every claim Fast, current answers Pro Search runs multi-step research Spaces for persistent context	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Ambient, proactive intelligence delivered via native iOS widgets — no app-switching required Cross-domain context: health, calendar, email, finances, and local recommendations in one layer Works within iOS permission model (no jailbreak or sideloading), making App Store approval plausible Strong pre-launch signal: 25k+ waitlist and backing from a16z, True Ventures, and SV Angel	Strong templates Decks, docs, webpages Doesn't look generic
Weaknesses	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Still pre-launch / beta — zero proven track record and no public pricing yet iPhone-only by design, which immediately locks out half the smartphone market Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved	Locked into Gamma's format Export quality varies
Kai's verdict	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	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. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.
