Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
