Kai's verdictB-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 for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
