Best forDevelopers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building.Small teams wanting AI baked into project management.Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.

Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
