| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins. |
