Create a prototype

Aha! Roadmaps

You can create prototypes in a few different ways, depending on where you are working and how you want to get started.

Whether you want to begin from a conversation with Elle, create one directly from the Prototypes page, or add one from the Documents page, each option gives you a straightforward way to turn an idea into something tangible.

Click any of the following links to skip ahead:

From a chat with Elle

Open a chat with Elle, and prompt it to generate a prototype. You can describe a concept from scratch, reference an existing record for context, or use a suggestion from the AI prompt library — such as the feature prototype or prototype for a popular idea prompts.

Once Elle generates a prototype, you will see options to save it as a record:

  • Click Save to this workspace/team to create a standalone prototype record in your workspace or team document hierarchy.

  • Click Link to [record ID] to create the prototype record and link it to the record included in your chat. The prototype will appear on the record’s Research tab under Concepts.

To have Elle style the prototype with your brand, select the + button below the message box, select Design system, and choose one before you describe what you want. Elle applies the design system's tokens and components as it generates, which uses fewer AI credits than restyling the prototype afterward.

From a record's Research tab

Open any record (such as a feature or initiative), navigate to the Research tab, and click Add in the Concepts section. Select Prototype to create a new prototype linked to that record.

Prototypes created from a record are automatically linked to that record. Standalone prototypes can be linked later through the prototype’s Related tab or the More options menu.
