Kai's verdictS-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
