| Kai's verdict | S-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. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. |
