| 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. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up. |
