| Kai's verdict | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
