Kai's verdictS-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
