Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
