Kai's verdictS-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.
