| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
