| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
