Kai's verdict	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.	S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
