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.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
