Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
