PricingWaitlist / Beta (pricing not yet disclosed)Free + $20/mo Pro + team/enterpriseFree web + ultra-cheap API (~$0.14/M input tokens)
Best foriPhone power users who are frustrated that Siri is still reactive and want their home screen to actually anticipate their day.Long writing, code, careful thinking, documents over 50 pages.Developers + cost-conscious builders. Anyone fine with self-hosting.
Strengths
  • Ambient, proactive intelligence delivered via native iOS widgets — no app-switching required
  • Cross-domain context: health, calendar, email, finances, and local recommendations in one layer
  • Works within iOS permission model (no jailbreak or sideloading), making App Store approval plausible
  • Strong pre-launch signal: 25k+ waitlist and backing from a16z, True Ventures, and SV Angel
  • Best-in-class writing + nuanced reasoning
  • 1M context on Opus
  • Artifacts for code/docs
  • Lowest hallucination rate in my testing
  • Open weights you can self-host
  • Strong reasoning + math
  • Near-free API pricing
  • DeepSeek-V3 / R1 are serious models
Weaknesses
  • Still pre-launch / beta — zero proven track record and no public pricing yet
  • iPhone-only by design, which immediately locks out half the smartphone market
  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Image generation is weak
  • No native web search on all tiers
  • Data goes to servers in China — privacy concerns for business use
  • Chinese policy filters
  • English polish trails Western models
Kai's verdictThe 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 reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
