| 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 solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
