| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
