Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
