Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.
