Bring Ideas to Life Before Writing a PRD

Product managers, designers, and founders spend weeks on static mockups and written specifications. By the time a prototype reaches engineering, assumptions have already calcified. Workshop flips this: describe what you want, and get a working, clickable prototype you can share and iterate on — in minutes, not sprints. Every prototype Workshop builds is real code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), not a static image. Stakeholders can click through it, test interactions, and provide meaningful feedback on something tangible.

​
Two Ways to Prototype

​
Workshop Cloud: Rapid UI Prototyping

Best for starting from scratch or exploring new concepts. Describe your idea in plain language and Workshop builds a working prototype you can share via URL. 
Build a dashboard prototype for our investor meeting with:
- Revenue chart showing monthly MRR growth
- Customer acquisition funnel with conversion rates
- Churn analysis with cohort breakdown
- KPI cards for ARR, NRR, and active users
Workshop generates a complete, interactive prototype and gives you a shareable link. Your investors, co-founders, or leadership team can interact with it immediately.

​
Workshop Desktop: Prototype Within Your Codebase

Best for product managers who want to prototype changes to an existing product. Use the GitHub connector to pull in your codebase, have Workshop set up the dev environment, then describe the changes you want as a clickable prototype with mocked data.
1

Connect your codebase

Use the GitHub connector to pull in your existing repository. Workshop reads the project structure, dependencies, and patterns automatically.
2

Set up the dev environment

Ask Workshop to install dependencies and start the development server. It handles the technical setup so you can focus on the product.
Set up this project and start the dev server so I can preview changes.
3

Describe changes in plain English

Tell Workshop what you want to prototype. It navigates the codebase, understands the existing patterns, and builds the prototype using your project’s real components.
I need to prototype the different user flows based on subscription tiers.
Create a demo mode with a plan selector that toggles between Pro and Max
tiers. Show how features and limits differ for each tier.
4

Iterate and share

Review the working prototype in your browser, request changes, and share the result with stakeholders for feedback.

​
Why Prototype with Workshop

Instant Iteration

Describe a change and see it live in seconds. No waiting for design handoffs or dev cycles.

Real Code, Not Mockups

Every prototype is a working application built with real HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — not a static image.

Shareable Previews

Get a live URL you can share with stakeholders, investors, or your team. Collect feedback on something real.

​
What Teams Prototype with Workshop

Full-fidelity screen designs with real components, responsive layouts, and interactive states. Go beyond static wireframes with prototypes that feel like the final product.
Working product demos for investor meetings — show something real, not slides. Investors can click through your product concept and experience the vision firsthand.
Quickly explore implementation approaches with working code before committing to a sprint. Validate technical feasibility alongside product desirability.
Try multiple visual directions in minutes. Compare layouts, color schemes, and component patterns side-by-side.
Prototype mobile onboarding, checkout, and navigation flows that feel native. Test the experience on a real device before committing to development.
Build clickable prototypes for user research sessions with real interactions and sample data. Get higher-quality feedback than static mockups allow.

​
Example Prompts

Generate 3 alternative onboarding flows (low friction, progressive
profiling, enterprise-ready) with clickable prototypes.

Prototype a "query builder" for non-technical users: filter chips,
saved views, and export. Create and connect to a mocked dataset.

Create a landing page mockup for the new product launch with hero
section, feature grid, pricing toggle, and email signup.

Build an interactive wireframe for the mobile onboarding flow
with 4 screens: welcome, permissions, personalization, home.

​
Who This Is For

  • Product Managers — validate feature ideas before they reach the engineering backlog
  • Designers — explore visual directions and test interactions with real code
  • Founders — turn a napkin sketch into a clickable demo for investor meetings
  • Solutions Engineers — build customer-specific demos that show exactly how your product solves their problem
  • User Researchers — create realistic prototypes for usability studies

​
From Prototype to Production

The best part: Workshop prototypes are not throwaway work. Because they are built with real code, they can serve as a foundation for production development. When a prototype validates an idea, your engineering team can pick up where Workshop left off — or continue building with Workshop to take it all the way to production.
