Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
