The most complete do-everything assistant — the safe first pick if you want one app that covers the widest range of tasks.
The assistant that already lives in Gmail and Docs, with a context window that swallows huge documents. The natural pick if you live in Google.
The fastest way to a cited answer. Our daily tool for scoping topics and fact-checking before we write.
The quiet default for writing code — inline autocomplete that fades into the background and saves real time on boilerplate.
Capable writing and coding, free for ordinary use. A strong zero-cost pick for non-sensitive work — just read the data terms first.
Strongest when the question is "right now" — live context from a social feed, plus much-improved coding. A capable second opinion.
Genuinely useful if your team already lives in Notion — the "ask your workspace" search is the reason to pay. Otherwise, skip.
