Adobe vs Comet

Comet scores higher on the AgentReady, 68/100 against 51/100. They differ on 8 of the 41 signals. Which ones decides whether an agent can adopt them without a person watching.

What each one is

Adobe. Adobe products and services empower developers to create memorable digital experiences through developer creativity

Comet. Comet is an end-to-end ML platform and LLM evaluation platform for developers.

Where Comet is ahead

Comet passes public docs discoverable and llms.txt published, and Adobe does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

It also holds understand: pricing understandable. Adobe misses it.

And on adopt, self-service signup, agent-compatible signup flow, free trial or free allowance, fast time to first request and copyable quickstart. Adobe misses those.

What neither does

Both fail openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.

Score, pillar by pillar

The AgentReady splits into four pillars, scored separately, because a product can be easy to find and still impossible to adopt.

Adobe misses openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, pricing understandable, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented; Comet misses openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented.

Adopt is whether an agent can get a key and make its first successful call without a human in the loop. Comet leads 80 to 40. Adobe misses self-service signup, no mandatory sales call, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, free trial or free allowance, fast time to first request, copyable quickstart; Comet misses no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation.

Adobe misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable; Comet misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable.
