| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
