| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
