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 if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
