Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.
