| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
