| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
