Plugins for creatives
MATE for Photoshop: Discord:

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

Claude + MATE just controlled InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator simultaneously.

Everyone's posting about connecting Claude to Figma and "Paper." MATE users have had this since 2 years. But I wanted to try the new MCP approach anyway. The result is wild.

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

Illustrator has no table tool. Just ask MATE to create one for you ⚡️

Edit the values by hand, or ask MATE for style updates like alternating rows.

You can even drop in a CSV and let MATE fill in the values and add more rows.

@hnshah @SamAsante Good job! Websites also designed by you both?

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

@glintstones Just use Arranger. It's free and was made exactly for this use case: https://t.co/2TGJdxTlxe

@eric_heineken Saubere Kernenergie…. „ Die hochradioaktiven Abfälle, die vor allem aus dem Betrieb von Kernkraftwerken resultieren, bleiben über Hunderttausende von Jahren gefährlich“.

Sauber ist da gar nichts. Nur will man es nicht wahrhaben.

MATE Voice - an experiment ⚡️

Trying something new here.

Works well:
- Feels like a co-worker next to you
- Use the mouse while you talk
- Faster than typing

Not so great yet:
- Speed: every millisecond counts
- Needs to be always-on

Should this become a feature?

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

@mrserge @Shpigford Love it!

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

@Shpigford True. These things usually took days, weeks to built. Now it only takes a couple of minutes.

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

@Shpigford Ok, this is nuts. Nothing is sacred anymore. It's already built.
This was so easy, I could generate tens of tools...is it worth it?

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

@Shpigford Wow, ok, I will give it a try. Thanks!

@joanrod_ai @QuiverAI yes

@rufusd @tinatoulidesign Not exactly an exercise but seeing good examples to really understand the concept of an "idea".

Remember, I told you that I studied and am teaching in Konstanz, close to Zurich. Swiss design.

In my mind, an idea is like a seed from which everything else grows and develops.

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

@rufusd @tinatoulidesign Agree!

Idea first

Is what I learned in design school (and am trying to teach to my students)

@lemonsqueezy @jrfarr Guys, I have an urgent issue with customers who want to purchase several products but are blocked by LS checkout. They want to buy but can't & are waiting. Support is not helping! Please, help!

@thsottiaux Chat, Work, Codex....honestly, I have no idea when what where why is being used in the ChatGPT app. And I don't see any difference. Maybe I have missed something somewhere. Could be given the amount of AI news all the time. I find this super confusing.

[Eugen Pflüger 🦋 @plugisto]

Experiment for plugin devs:

Codex "Computer Use" used and tested MATE in Premiere like a user would.

1. It entered a prompt, checked the results.
2. Switched to another model and ran the same prompt again.
3. Reported which model performed better.

UI testing automated ✅

Strongest model lineup ever for MATE

⚡️ GPT-6 Luna is now FREE (included with MATE)
⚡️ GPT-6 Sol (50% cheaper)
⚡️ Opus 5.5 (reported to match Fable-level performance)
⚡️ Gemini 3.8 Flash (understands video!)

All working incredibly well for script generation and automation.
