Builder", "summary": "Aha! launched a direct integration between Aha! Roadmaps and Aha! Builder, enabling product teams to turn roadmap features and prototypes into AI-coded applications with text prompts. The connection allows users to send planned work from roadmaps to Builder for rapid implementation, creating proof-of-concept apps or enhancing existing ones without starting from scratch. This aims to reduce handoffs and accelerate the path from strategy to working software.", "body_md": "# Turn roadmap plans into AI-coded applications in Aha! Builder\n\nThe distance between product strategy and a working application used to be measured in handoffs and months. Now, it is measured in clicks. Aha! Builder lets product teams turn ideas into [Minimum Lovable Products](/roadmapping/guide/plans/what-is-a-minimum-lovable-product) with simple text prompts and AI coding. With the connection to Aha! Roadmaps, the features and prototypes you have already defined become the starting point — so you can create functional software directly from them.\n\nYou can now send features and prototypes from Aha! Roadmaps to Aha! Builder for rapid implementation.\n\n## Build directly from your roadmap\n\nProduct teams use [Aha! Roadmaps](/roadmaps/overview) to create plans for new functionality. You set strategy, consolidate customer feedback, prioritize features, and create prototypes. Traditionally, the next step has been handing that work off so development can begin. But in this [new era of AI coding](/blog/the-new-era-of-pm-coding-is-not-about-vibes), product managers are building too. [Aha! Builder](/builder/overview) is seamlessly integrated with Aha! Roadmaps — helping you turn planned work into a production-ready application in one unified system.\n\nThe connection is direct. Send features straight from Aha! Roadmaps to Aha! Builder, choose whether to create a brand-new application or enhance an existing one, and then prompt Elle (the AI assistant) to start coding.\n\nImportantly, you can also move Aha! Roadmaps prototypes into Aha! Builder to create a quick proof of concept to share for early user feedback. This way, you build from the plan your team already agreed on instead of starting from a blank prompt.\n\nHere is what you can do:\n\n**Create a proof of concept:** Turn a well-defined feature or prototype in Aha! Roadmaps into a proof of concept in Aha! Builder.**Get feedback and iterate:** Share what you built to[collect user feedback](https://support.aha.io/aha-builder/support-articles/features/install-a-feedback-widget-in-your-application~7641272067107746724?_gl=1*1w0vjjt*_gcl_au*MjA1MDMzMDA3Ny4xNzc3NDEyNDAw*_ga*MTYzMzU0OTQ3MS4xNzQwNjc3MTE2*_ga_8PBG2WJ432*czE3ODEyMTM4NjAkbzEwMzIkZzEkdDE3ODEyMTQwNjYkajI3JGwwJGgw#enable-feedback-collection)and iterate as you learn.**Improve an existing application:** Assign an Aha! Roadmaps feature to an existing Aha! Builder application.\n\nDo exactly what you want with just a few clicks. Here is what it looks like when a feature becomes the foundation for a new application.\n\nThe connection between Aha! Roadmaps and Aha! Builder is available to Aha! Roadmaps customers on the [Aha! Builder Scale](/builder/pricing) plan. [Try Aha!
