| Kai's verdict | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
