| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
