| Kai's verdict | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
