| Tagline | OpenAI's browser agent. Clicks and types on websites for you. | Google's answer.

| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | A genuinely interesting evolution of video search that could make YouTube feel more like a knowledge engine, but it's still early-stage, US-locked, and paywalled behind Premium — watch this space rather than rerouting your workflow around it yet. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) |
