| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
