| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | S-tier for local inference.
