Kai's verdict	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.
