Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.A-tier for the right use case.
