| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
