Kai's verdictB-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.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
