Kai's verdictS-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
