| 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 for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
