  • Overkill for casual users
  • Enterprise pricing
  • Still hit-or-miss on complex multi-hour tasks
  • Can burn credits fast
  • Google-only
  • Can be slow on large corpora
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.)A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
