Kai's verdictB-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
