Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.
