| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
