Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
