| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. |
