| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
