| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | 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. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
