Kai's verdict	A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.	A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
