| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
