Kai's verdictS-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
