| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
