Kai's verdictB-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
