Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
