Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
