Kai's verdictA-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
