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. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
