| Kai's verdict | S-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. | S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
