Alloy

Introduction to Alloy

Alloy is an AI-powered prototyping tool designed to help product managers and teams create interactive, pixel-perfect prototypes that closely resemble their real applications. By capturing your app directly from the browser, Alloy allows you to describe features using AI chat and instantly generate high-fidelity concepts. These prototypes can be shared with team members and customers for feedback, iteration, and validation.

The platform enables product leaders to explore new ideas quickly by leveraging the structure and design of their actual application. This ensures that all prototypes maintain brand consistency and look as if they were created by a professional designer. Alloy eliminates the need for traditional design tools or engineering resources, making it accessible and efficient for product teams at scale.

Takeaways

• Capture your app directly from the browser
• Use AI chat to describe and refine features
• Generate pixel-perfect, interactive prototypes
• Share prototypes with team members and customers instantly
• No setup required — start prototyping immediately
• Export prototypes to Figma and React
• Integrate with over 20 platforms for insights and feedback

How Alloy Works

Alloy works by allowing users to install a browser extension and capture any page of their web application. Once captured, the tool generates a preview of the page, enabling users to begin prototyping. As more pages are captured, the system builds a library of components, which enhances the quality and accuracy of future prototypes.

Users can then describe new features or changes using natural language through an AI chat interface. The AI interprets these descriptions and creates interactive concepts that match the original app's look and feel. These prototypes can be refined, tested, and shared without requiring any coding or design expertise.

Core Benefits and Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I capture my product?

Add the browser extension and open it on any page of your app. After you capture the page, you'll instantly see a preview and can start prototyping. Capturing more pages builds your library, generating even better results.

How is Alloy different from app builders like Lovable?

Prototypes in Alloy look exactly like your real product. Rather than pasting in screenshots and getting off-brand results, Alloy understands your product, component library, and design system. Everything you prototype looks like something your designer made, automatically.

Is there any setup required?

None! The magic of Alloy is that you can capture your product instantly, and start prototyping right away. No need to import a design system, wrangle dependencies, or use engineering tools.

Can I import from Figma?

Not right now, but we're working on it. For now you'll get the best results by capturing your actual web app, not Figma. You can export your Alloy prototype to Figma at any time by clicking the Figma button in the top right of your prototype.

Does Alloy generate code that I can use?

Yes, your Alloy prototype is a React app that can be exported. Please note that this feature requires our Pro plan.
