Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
