| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for conversation. A-tier for TTS. Complement to ElevenLabs, not replacement. |
