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 for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
