Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
