Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.
