| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
