	Claude Code S	ChatGPT Operator B	Perplexity S	Figma AI A
Tagline	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	OpenAI's browser agent. Clicks and types on websites for you.	AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.
Category	coding	agents	research	design
Pricing	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Included with ChatGPT Pro $200/mo	Free + $20/mo Pro	Included with Figma plans
Best for	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Power users willing to pay $200/mo for a browser bot.	Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.	Designers already on Figma.
Strengths	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Actually uses websites — fills forms, clicks, checks out Built into ChatGPT Good for repetitive web tasks	Sources every claim Fast, current answers Pro Search runs multi-step research Spaces for persistent context	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	Slow vs doing it yourself Breaks on complex auth flows $200/mo gate	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics	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.	B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
