| Kai's verdict | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
