| Kai's verdict | 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. | A genuinely interesting evolution of video search that could make YouTube feel more like a knowledge engine, but it's still early-stage, US-locked, and paywalled behind Premium — watch this space rather than rerouting your workflow around it yet. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. |
