Kai's verdictA-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
