Kai's verdictS-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.
