| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. |
