Now that Claude can hook into Adobe and Blender, my first reaction wasn’t excitement but curiosity: who’s gonna define the standard for this plugin layer? Stuffing AI assistants into creative software isn’t new, but connecting to a big model means it can actually understand the scene you built in Blender, tweak things layer by layer in Photoshop—that’s a whole different level of interaction depth.
The thing is, Adobe has its own Firefly, Autodesk is cooking something too, so when third-party models come in, are they filling a gap or muscling in on turf?
What worries me more is the switching cost—once your workflow gets deeply tied to one company’s plugin ecosystem, switching is gonna hurt. Short-term it’s good, tools get smarter, but long-term evolution depends on whether these companies are willing to open up their APIs.
