Kai's verdictA-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
