Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
