Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.
