Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.
