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.B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up.
