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.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
