| Best for | Non-native English writers, business email, anyone who types a lot. | Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs. | Anyone running autonomous AI agents (shopping bots, booking assistants, personal AI) who wants delegated payment capability without handing over raw card data. | Anyone already on Google, research tasks, summarizing long documents. |

| Kai's verdict | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | Stripe Link is the most credible first move toward a real agentic payment layer — the one-time-use card model is genuinely clever, and the existing merchant network gives it a head start no startup wallet can match. But the 'approve every transaction' UX will get old fast, and the hard part (autonomous spending with guardrails) is still on the roadmap. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
