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.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.
