Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.
