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 for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.
