| Kai's verdict | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
