| 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 for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
