| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
