| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. |
