| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
