| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
