Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
