| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead. |
