| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
