Kai's verdictA-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
