Kai's verdictA-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
