Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
