| 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 model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
