Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for conversation. A-tier for TTS. Complement to ElevenLabs, not replacement.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now.
