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 for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
