| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. |
