  • Composer for multi-file edits
  • Runs Claude, GPT, Gemini — you pick

  • Great animations
  • 300+ models from one endpoint
  • Automatic fallbacks between providers
  • No subscription — just pay what you use
  • Runs locally, edits your actual files
  • Strong on large codebases with 1M context
  • Great at multi-step tasks
Weaknesses
  • Can feel overwhelming for non-coders
  • Expensive at scale
  • Less flexible than raw code
  • Pricing per-site adds up
  • Slight markup over direct API
  • Some provider features not exposed
  • Terminal-based — learning curve
  • Can't be used without Claude subscription
Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
