Strengths	Custom AI agents per project Doc + tasks + kanban in one Affordable for teams	Searches 125M+ papers Extracts + synthesizes findings across papers Systematic review workflow	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Runs locally on a beefy GPU Very photoreal Best open-weight model
Weaknesses	Feature sprawl AI agents need tuning to be useful	Academic-only Can hallucinate citations — verify everything	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Harder to use than hosted tools Needs infra
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.	S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
