Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
