| 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 search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
