  • Best image-to-video in the category
  • Great camera motion control
  • Ray 2 model produces striking shots
  • Sources every claim
  • Fast, current answers
  • Pro Search runs multi-step research
  • Spaces for persistent context
  • Cheaper than Cursor
  • Cascade agent for multi-file tasks
  • Solid free tier
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
  • Prompt fidelity below Runway
  • Queue times on free tier
  • Not a general chatbot
  • Answers can be shallow on complex topics
  • Smaller community
  • Model selection more limited
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. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
