| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. |
