| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
