Weaknesses

Kai's verdictS-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
