| 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. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. |
