Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Early-stage — rough edges Less reliable than Perplexity for simple questions	Lower fidelity than Runway/Kling Still rough on complex scenes	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Less style variety
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.	A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
