Shortlist
Why these names
- Midjourney — human 84, agent 42. Midjourney is a research lab and image service famous for aesthetic range. The product still lives between Discord commands and a web app. That human craft surface is excellent; the official machine surface is not. There is no first-class public API comparable to OpenAI. Compare with Adobe Firefly
- Runway — human 81, agent 64. Runway builds generative video tools (Gen-3 and successors) used by filmmakers, marketers, and motion teams. The web studio is the human product: timeline, motion brush, lip sync, and generating clips from text or images. An API exists for generating assets in pipelines,. Compare with Adobe Firefly
- Canva — human 89, agent 63. Canva is the design tool for everyone who is not a professional designer — and increasingly for those who are. Templates, Brand Kit, and Magic Studio made visual work default worldwide. Partner and Connect APIs exist, but most automation is still export-and-hope. We will not. Compare with Adobe Firefly
