Prototype Studio: requirements in, a clickable prototype out.

Part of Creative Buddy. Hand your Onit team the business requirements. Prototype Studio asks the questions a good analyst would ask, then turns the answers into a clickable prototype on your own brand, in minutes. Refine it in plain English, approve it through a link, and your developers get a real handoff package.

How it works

Step by step.

  1. Hand over the requirementsYour Onit team pastes or uploads them, then picks your brand and the format.
  2. Questions firstIt asks what a good analyst would ask, with suggested answers, and states its assumptions. Questions only you can answer come to you.
  3. Confirm the briefProblem, users, goals, scope, screens and open questions, in one brief.
  4. A clickable prototypeBuilt on your brand sweep: your colors, fonts, buttons, logos and voice.
  5. Refine in plain EnglishUp to 15 rounds, always showing which round it is on. Every version is kept.
  6. Approve, then hand offYou approve through a link, no login. Then your developers get the handoff package.
Seven formats

Whatever the requirements call for.

Why it matters

What it changes.

Questions before screens

It reads the requirements and asks what is missing first, so the first version starts from what you actually meant.

Your brand, not a template

Colors, fonts, buttons, logos and voice come from your brand sweep, the same one every Buddy System tool uses.

Approval turns into a handoff

Approval produces a spec, user stories, acceptance criteria and open questions, saved in Buddy, pushed to Drive with a GitHub issue for the dev team.

Honest limits

A prototype, not the finished product.

What Prototype Studio makes, and what it does not.

  • Prototypes are front-end mockups with sample data. They are not production code, and there is no working backend behind them.
  • Dashboards and business cases use sample or assumed figures, and you can edit them.
  • It does not replace developer estimation.
  • Nothing goes to Drive or GitHub until someone approves it.

From requirements to approval, inside Creative Buddy.

Or team it up with The Buddy System: the prototype uses the same brand sweep as every page, ad and offer it builds.
