Claude has replaced Lovable, Figma, Gamma, Veed, Cursor and (almost) Notion for him
Kais lists the maker tools Claude has recently replaced for him at blockitAI, and it reads like a kill feed: Lovable, Figma, Gamma, Veed, Cursor, and increasingly Notion, which he never imagined happening. His read is that Claude's 'artifact' strategy is working. That's the uncomfortable bit for these tools. They aren't losing to a rival in their own category. They're being absorbed by one general-purpose AI that does a good-enough version of each. That's not one zombie. That's a whole horde in a single subscription.
the number of my beloved 'maker' tools that claude has recently replaced for me / @blockitAI has been blistering:
- lovable
- figma
- gamma
- veed
- cursor
- increasingly notion (which i never imagined happening ever 🤯)anecdotally feels like their 'artifact' strategy is actually working...

- Ado no longer thinks everyone will build their own Figma: short-lived, purpose-built software is likelier
