| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
