| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
