| Kai's verdict | A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
