Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here.	S-tier. Category leader. Nothing else is close yet.
