Kai's verdict	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
