| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
