Kai's verdictA-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.
