| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. |
