Tagline	AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater.	OpenAI's browser agent. Clicks and types on websites for you.	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.
Category	Research	Agents	Coding	Design
Pricing	Free + $20/mo Pro	Included with ChatGPT Pro $200/mo	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Included with Figma plans
Best for	Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.	Power users willing to pay $200/mo for a browser bot.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Designers already on Figma.
Strengths	Sources every claim Fast, current answers Pro Search runs multi-step research Spaces for persistent context	Actually uses websites — fills forms, clicks, checks out Built into ChatGPT Good for repetitive web tasks	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search
Weaknesses	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics	Slow vs doing it yourself Breaks on complex auth flows $200/mo gate	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out
Kai's verdict	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
