| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
