| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
