| 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 search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
