| Kai's verdict | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. |
