Kai's verdict	S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	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.
