| Kai's verdict | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
