  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Smaller community
  • Model selection more limited
  • Writing quality trails Claude
  • Over-refusals on edge content
  • UI is cluttered
  • Not a full Excel replacement for heavy users
  • Integrations best on paid tiers
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. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
