Weaknesses	Google-only Can be slow on large corpora	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Voice realism slightly behind ElevenLabs UX less polished	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out
Kai's verdict	S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
