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 for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
