| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
