| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
