Kai's verdict	B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.
