Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
