| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
