| Kai's verdict | If your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
