| Kai's verdict | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
