| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
