| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
