  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code
  • Model quality varies
  • Writing quality trails Claude/ChatGPT
  • Political bias debates
  • Ecosystem is just X
Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.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.)B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
