Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.
