Kai's verdict	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.	S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.	S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
