| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
