| Kai's verdict | S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
