| Tagline | Commercially safe image gen, deeply integrated with Photoshop. | AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater. | Suno's main rival. Often better on instrumental nuance. | The one that actually gets text in images right. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
