Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.
