| Kai's verdict | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
