| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
