Best for	Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.	Power users on Mac who type a lot.	Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.	Anyone who wants top-tier video quality for less.
Strengths	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	Invoke AI from anywhere on Mac with a hotkey Choose your model (Claude, GPT, etc.) AI Commands for repeatable workflows	Sources every claim Fast, current answers Pro Search runs multi-step research Spaces for persistent context	Very strong motion + physics Often beats Runway on realism Great price
Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Mac-only Monthly AI sub on top of free app	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
