Reviewer scorecard
“Figma is non-negotiable for product design. The AI features are catching up to standalone tools. Make is promising but still needs refinement for complex layouts.”
“The 3D capture from phone video is magic. Walk around an object, get a photorealistic 3D model. For product photography and real estate, this is transformative.”
“Dev Mode is the killer feature for developers. Inspect designs, copy CSS, export assets — all without asking the designer. The MCP integration with Claude Code is next-level.”
“Figma's platform play is smart — become the OS for design, then add AI on top. Code Connect, Dev Mode, Make — they're building the bridge between design and code.”
“3D generation is the next frontier after image and video. Luma is ahead of everyone in making 3D accessible. Spatial computing needs this.”
“Dream Machine video quality has improved significantly. Not Runway level yet for cinematic work but the 3D capabilities are genuinely unique.”
