| Best for | People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building. | Indie game devs, illustrators, anyone training custom style models. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
