The Problem

Product managers often know the interaction they want to test but cannot efficiently build it in Figma. Creating an entire interactive flow is tedious, while open-ended AI coding tools may invent details and reduce the precise control needed for a valid usability test. Designers can build these prototypes manually, but that consumes skilled time before the concept has been validated.

Potential Solution

Build a guided prototyping product that converts structured wireframes, screens, and interaction rules into a test-ready clickable flow. Users retain control over states and navigation instead of relying on an unconstrained prompt. After testing, the validated screens and flow can be exported to Figma for pixel-perfect design work.

Why Now?

AI-assisted interface generation has made rapid prototype creation practical, but product teams still need precision, predictable flows, and compatibility with established design workflows. The evidence also shows growing willingness among initially resistant designers to use these tools for early validation rather than final design.

I think it's in what's in it for me. So I think that for the designer, what's in it for them is that they get to do usability testing almost immediately. They don't need to build. I didn't try to do a mock in Figma, but I do know that it's quite tedious or used to be quite tedious before Figma make. I don't know how I tried it a little, but I don't know how good it is yet. So creating the entire flow is quite tedious. So this saves them a lot of time. And I don't think, again, I don't think none of these tools replace the professionals, but they do shorten the time that they do take away a lot of the tedious work that they need to do. And it requires an open mindset.

I don't expect any vibe coding tool to give me that. But I do expect it to do a lot of the work that maybe a junior developer, a junior designer, a junior product manager would do for hours. And I do expect it to do out of the box. So we all need to level up our game with our spare time. But my designer quite liked the experience working with it. Again, first initial reaction was, why do we need it? I know my Figma. Second or third reaction was, okay, this is quite cool. I understand where it meets me. In the end, I do want to continue working with, like, we figure out what works and then we take it to Figma and we make it pixel perfect.

And I saw that from being at Envision at the time when they started popping up. What they did so well was it was a tool that an individual designer would say discover and then use it over the weekend to play around with it and be like, oh, this is cool. And then on Monday, they come to work and there's a hundred designers on the team and they go, hey, everybody, I use this new tool over the weekend here, check it out. And then they all of a sudden just start spreading, spreading, spreading, right? And then you'll have, of course, some that are resistant and da-da-da-da. But then eventually, what does everybody use? Figma. And if you don't use Figma, you live in the 90s, right?
