Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.
