Strengths	Very strong motion + physics Often beats Runway on realism Great price	Cheaper than Cursor Cascade agent for multi-file tasks Solid free tier	Trained on licensed content — commercially safe Generative Fill in Photoshop is incredible Native to Adobe ecosystem	Native Google Workspace integration Very long context (1M+) Deep Research feature Free tier is generous
Weaknesses	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times	Smaller community Model selection more limited	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Writing quality trails Claude Over-refusals on edge content UI is cluttered
Kai's verdict	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.	A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
