Requires local setup — desktop app, not a web app, friction for non-technical users
Local model limits — small open models lose reliability on long multi-step research chains
Early product — launched August 2026, still building feature depth
Single-user by design — no built-in multi-agent shared browsing or team collaboration yet
Desktop-only at launch — no mobile support limits some workflows
Some MCP setup knowledge helpful — though the app provides copy-paste config
