| 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. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
