Kai's verdictA-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
