Best for	ChatGPT Plus users who want images without paying extra.	Anyone in Creative Cloud. Brands that need copyright clarity.	Designers already on Figma.	Developers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc).
Strengths	Excellent prompt understanding Built into ChatGPT — no extra subscription Good at composition + concepts	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	Tens of thousands of models (image, video, audio, LLMs) One-line API for any model Cog framework for custom model deploy
Weaknesses	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Cold starts on less-popular models Pricing gets real at scale
Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	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.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
