Kai's verdict	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.	A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
