| Kai's verdict | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
