API integration is clean. The prompt rewriting feature improves results but can be bypassed for precise control.

The open-source canvas library is excellent for building custom drawing tools. The AI sketch-to-code is a nice bonus but the core library is the real value.

Good but not as good as Midjourney for artistic work. The style is recognizably 'DALL-E' which limits creative range.

Drawing a rough wireframe and getting working React code is magical. It is not pixel-perfect but it gets the structure right. Perfect for rapid prototyping sessions with clients.

Reliable, well-documented API, integrated into ChatGPT. The safe choice for product image generation.

Sketch-to-code is the natural interface for design. No more translating mental models through Figma to code. Draw it, ship it. This is where UI development is heading.
