Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
