Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.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.)S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
