Kai's verdictS-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
