Kai's verdictS-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
