| Kai's verdict | B-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. | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
