I'm not sure I see the benefit of this over PowerToys beyond system-wide indexing for file search (which I'd want in Explorer, not a separate launcher app). Let alone the premium tiers.

- AI? What's the benefit beyond agents in more domain-specific environments (or gen-purpose site) vs native to a launcher app?

- Custom window management is available with PowerToys

- Unlimited clipboard history - I'm not sure I want or need this over PowerToys retaining it for system uptime.

- (Free?) Extension library looks a step beyond what's currently available for PowerToys' Command Palette, but will Raycast gain more Windows-focused extensions faster than Command Palette does?

Competition is good, but I don't see how this adds value as a premium service beyond PowerToys
