| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
