Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
