| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
