Kai's verdictA-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.
