Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
