Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
