Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.B-tier. Useful for first drafts. v0 is the better bet for shipping code.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
