Kai's verdictB-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
