Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
