Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Pricing gets steep for production use Some voices sound over-polished	Fewer voices than ElevenLabs Less consumer-facing brand	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier. Category leader. Nothing else is close yet.	S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
