Kai's verdictS-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
