| Kai's verdict | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | 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. |
