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 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.
