Strengths	Ingredients feature — combine people, objects, scenes Lip sync + sound effects Fun, approachable UX	Trained on licensed content — commercially safe Generative Fill in Photoshop is incredible Native to Adobe ecosystem	Ships working React + Tailwind code Shadcn/ui native One-click deploy to Vercel	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks
Weaknesses	Lower fidelity than Runway/Kling Still rough on complex scenes	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Best for shadcn stack Iterating can be fiddly	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription
Kai's verdict	A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
