Kai's verdictA-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.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.)S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
