Strengths	Sources every claim Fast, current answers Pro Search runs multi-step research Spaces for persistent context	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Best text rendering in the game Strong free tier Good for logos, posters, thumbnails
Weaknesses	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Less style variety
Kai's verdict	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
