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 text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
