Kai's verdict	S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.	S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
