| Kai's verdict | B-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. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. | A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead. |
