Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.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.)S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
