Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
