Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.	A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
