Kai's verdictS-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up.A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
