Kai's verdictS-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
