Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
