| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. |
