Kai's verdictS-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. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.
