  • Pricey for serious volume
  • Long shots still feel off
  • Ethics — easy to misuse
  • Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney
  • Less style variety
Kai's verdictA 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.)S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
