Best forDevelopers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.Designers already on Figma.Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic.

  • Slight markup over direct API
  • Some provider features not exposed
Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
