Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
