| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | A genuinely interesting evolution of video search that could make YouTube feel more like a knowledge engine, but it's still early-stage, US-locked, and paywalled behind Premium — watch this space rather than rerouting your workflow around it yet. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. |
