AI prototyping is changing how product managers explore new ideas. You can turn rough concepts into fully realistic product experiences in minutes to think through solutions, gather feedback, and align on the best user experience. With today's update, you can bring a whiteboard visual to life as a prototype in one click.
Explore early concepts on a whiteboard, then ask Elle (the AI assistant) to convert user flows, wireframes, and sketches into an interactive prototype — no written prompts required.
Give Elle visual context for your prototype #
You could already generate prototypes with Elle using a written prompt or directly from a feature description. Now, you can use a whiteboard visual as your starting point.
Select a user flow diagram, wireframe, sketch, screenshot, or other visual concept. Elle uses the whiteboard shapes as context to create an interactive prototype — so you do not have to translate your thinking into a separate written request. Here is what you can do:
Convert visual concepts: Ask Elle to turn awhiteboard visual into an interactive prototype.Explore the experience: Step through the proposed flow and see how the interactions work.Review with the team: See the prototype on the same whiteboard so teammates can compare it with the original thinking.Refine with Elle: Keep iterating on your prototype as the concept develops.
In the example below, we are turning a user flow diagram for a shopping cart experience into an interactive prototype.
This update is available in Aha! Whiteboards Essentials, which is included with every Aha! software plan. Any user working in a whiteboard can convert supported objects into a prototype.
How to get started #
Open a whiteboard with the content you want to prototype.
Select the objects you want to turn into a prototype.
Select the
More options button (...) or right-click, and choose** Convert to prototype.**Review the prototype with your team or ask Elle to keep improving it.
📚 For more details, read the full support article. Whiteboarding and prototyping can now be part of the same product workflow. Work through the experience with the team, then continue into a prototype without leaving the whiteboard. Want to learn more about prototyping? Watch our tutorial recording on prototyping for PMs.
