| 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. | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
