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
  • Still hit-or-miss on complex multi-hour tasks
  • Can burn credits fast
  • Not a general chatbot
  • Answers can be shallow on complex topics
  • Writing quality trails Claude
  • Over-refusals on edge content
  • UI is cluttered
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 in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
