Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
