  • Google-only
  • Can be slow on large corpora
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.The concept is genuinely compelling — turning the home screen into a living AI layer is a smarter bet than yet another chat interface — but this is vaporware until it ships publicly and we see whether Apple's sandbox lets it breathe. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
