  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Not a full Excel replacement for heavy users
  • Integrations best on paid tiers

  • Speed way behind cloud APIs
  • Data goes to servers in China — privacy concerns for business use
  • Chinese policy filters

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.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
