Kai's verdictS-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
