Kai's verdict	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
