Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
