Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026.
