The capability is available in Aha! Whiteboards Essentials, included with every Aha! software plan, to any user who can create a prototype.", "body_md": "# Create multiple prototype variations with AI\n\nPrototypes are a powerful way to visualize and validate new customer experiences before you build them. But there is rarely just one way to solve a problem. Exploring different workflows, designs, and functionality can help you find the best approach — but creating each version individually takes time. Now you can ask Elle, the AI assistant in Aha! software, to generate multiple prototype variations at once on a whiteboard.\n\nGenerate multiple prototype variations with Elle, then compare them side by side on a whiteboard.\n\n## Explore multiple approaches before you build\n\nYou can already use Elle to quickly create interactive prototypes that reflect your feature requirements. Now, you can take that exploration further by generating multiple concepts at once — giving you more options to consider before you commit to a direction.\n\nThere are two ways to generate [prototype variations](https://support.aha.io/aha-roadmaps/support-articles/knowledge/prototypes/explore-prototype-variations~7684345783443181488), depending on where you want to start. Go to a feature's **Research** tab and add prototype variations from the **Concepts** section. Elle uses the context in the feature description to create four distinct concepts.\n\nOr start from an existing prototype on a whiteboard. Open Elle and select **Explore variations** in the prototype toolbar, then choose how Elle approaches the new set:\n\n- **Number of variations:** Ask Elle to generate between one and six new prototypes.\n- **Similarity:** Choose between small changes and vastly different approaches.\n- **Variation focus:** Focus on functionality or design, or describe specifically what you want Elle to vary.\n\nElle places the new prototypes together on the whiteboard and describes the strengths and trade-offs of each. Share the whiteboard with your team to discuss the differences and choose a direction to refine. Then, create as many more variations as you need to get it right.\n\nPrototype variations are available in [Aha! Whiteboards Essentials](https://www.aha.io/whiteboards/pricing), which is included with every [Aha! software plan](https://www.aha.io/pricing). Any user who can create a prototype can generate prototype variations with Elle.\n\nSee prototype variations in action:\n\n📚 For more details, [read the full support article](https://support.aha.io/aha-roadmaps/support-articles/knowledge/prototypes/explore-prototype-variations~7684345783443181488). \n\nPrototype variations give your team more possibilities to consider before choosing what to build. Explore different ideas together, find the approach you want to pursue, and keep that early work connected to the product plans you will deliver.\n\n**Start a free trial** \n\nPrototype variations are available to Aha! customers.
