Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
