Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.
