Kai's verdictA-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.
