Kai's verdictS-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
