	Claude Code S	Adobe Firefly A	Figma AI A	Kling A
Tagline	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	Commercially safe image gen, deeply integrated with Photoshop.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.	Kuaishou's video model. The surprise standout.
Category	Coding	Image	Design	Video
Pricing	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Free + included with Creative Cloud	Included with Figma plans	Credit-based, free trial
Best for	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Anyone in Creative Cloud. Brands that need copyright clarity.	Designers already on Figma.	Anyone who wants top-tier video quality for less.
Strengths	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Trained on licensed content — commercially safe Generative Fill in Photoshop is incredible Native to Adobe ecosystem	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Very strong motion + physics Often beats Runway on realism Great price
Weaknesses	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times
Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
