| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. |
