	Claude Code S	Gemini A	Adobe Firefly A	Figma AI A
Tagline	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	Google's answer. Best integrated with Workspace + free for a lot.	Commercially safe image gen, deeply integrated with Photoshop.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.
Category	Coding	Chatbots	Image	Design
Pricing	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Free + $20/mo Advanced (bundled with 2TB Drive)	Free + included with Creative Cloud	Included with Figma plans
Best for	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Anyone already on Google, research tasks, summarizing long documents.	Anyone in Creative Cloud. Brands that need copyright clarity.	Designers already on Figma.
Strengths	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Native Google Workspace integration Very long context (1M+) Deep Research feature Free tier is generous	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
Weaknesses	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Writing quality trails Claude Over-refusals on edge content UI is cluttered	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out
Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.	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.
