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. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
