  • Image generation is weak
  • No native web search on all tiers
  • Not a general chatbot
  • Answers can be shallow on complex topics
  • Bot-joining model
  • Team features gated
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 search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
