Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
