| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
