Strengths	Custom AI agents per project Doc + tasks + kanban in one Affordable for teams	Upload anything, ask questions, get cited answers Audio Overview turns docs into a 10-min podcast Great for studying	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Cheaper than Cursor Cascade agent for multi-file tasks Solid free tier
Weaknesses	Feature sprawl AI agents need tuning to be useful	Google-only Can be slow on large corpora	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Smaller community Model selection more limited
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.	S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
