Kai's verdictS-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
