| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
