| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
