| Tagline | The pro's AI video tool. Gen-4 is the current bar. | Microsoft/GitHub's autocomplete. Deep VS Code + JetBrains integration. | AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater. | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. |

| Best for | Marketing video, pitch decks, b-roll, creative shorts. | Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs. | Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | 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 if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
