  • Long shots still feel off
  • Ethics — easy to misuse
  • Stricter content policy than competitors
  • Hit-or-miss on complex motion

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.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
