| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. |
