| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
