| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
