| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. |
