	Claude Code S	Figma AI A	Devin A	Perplexity S
Tagline	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.	Cognition Labs' autonomous coding engineer.	AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater.
Category	Coding	Design	Agents	Research
Pricing	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Included with Figma plans	$500/mo	Free + $20/mo Pro
Best for	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Designers already on Figma.	Engineering teams offloading tickets. Ops/platform work.	Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.
Strengths	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Works like an engineer — takes Slack tasks, opens PRs Handles multi-hour engineering work Reports back with what it did	Sources every claim Fast, current answers Pro Search runs multi-step research Spaces for persistent context
Weaknesses	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Expensive Best for well-scoped tasks Not for solo hobbyists	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics
Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
