| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. |
