| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. |
