Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up.
