Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
