Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
