Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
