| 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. | If you've ever rage-quit trying to fine-tune Whisper on a niche language or domain, smol-audio is the cookbook you wished existed — transparent, practical, and actually runs on free Colab. It's a practitioner's toolkit, not a product, but that's exactly what makes it useful. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
