Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.
