Kai's verdict	S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
