| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
