| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
