Kai's verdict	S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
