| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
