Cursor
IDE-integrated coding tool, not a chat AI. Routes to Claude, GPT, Gemini under the hood. Best autocomplete + agent mode in the IDE-tools class.
NotebookLM
Document research specialist — not a general chat assistant. Generates podcast-style "Audio Overview" from your sources. Best for grounded study and literature review.
