| Kai's verdict | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
