Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.
