The two models disagree most about Recraft AI (ChatGPT #18, Google #7) and Adobe Firefly (ChatGPT #6, Google #16).
Adobe has climbed to the top to become the most-cited brand for AI creative design tools between October 2025 and March 2026. This shift highlights a broader trend where AI assistants increasingly recommend established creative software providers over pure-play AI model companies for practical design use cases.
Across 4,654 AI responses, OpenAI is mentioned most, named in 29% of them, followed by Canva (22%) and Alphabet (21%).
