| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. |
