Kai's verdict	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	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.	S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
