  • Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code
  • Model quality varies
Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.A genuinely interesting evolution of video search that could make YouTube feel more like a knowledge engine, but it's still early-stage, US-locked, and paywalled behind Premium — watch this space rather than rerouting your workflow around it yet. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
