Shortlist
Why these names
- 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 Midjourney
- 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 Midjourney
- Adobe Firefly — human 79, agent 70. Firefly is Adobe's generative model family trained with a commercial-safety story: licensed and public-domain data, indemnification on qualifying plans. The web app and the Photoshop Generative Fill button are the human products. APIs exist for enterprises who want Firefly. Compare with Midjourney
