| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
