Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
