Kai's verdict	S-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 for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
