Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics	Pricey for production apps Less voice variety than ElevenLabs Platform lock-in	Pricey for serious volume Long shots still feel off Ethics — easy to misuse
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 for conversation. A-tier for TTS. Complement to ElevenLabs, not replacement.	S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
