Alloy

Product Introduction

1. Alloy is an AI-powered prototyping tool that enables users to create interactive, pixel-perfect concepts directly from their live web applications. It captures real product interfaces via a browser extension and uses AI chat to generate or modify features, ensuring prototypes align with existing design systems.
2. The core value of Alloy lies in its ability to bridge the gap between ideation and implementation by producing functional, on-brand prototypes that mirror the user’s actual product, eliminating the need for manual design or engineering effort.

Main Features

1. Browser-Based Capture: Users install a browser extension to capture live pages from their web app, which are instantly converted into editable prototypes within Alloy. Captured pages are stored in a library for reuse, enabling context-aware AI enhancements.
2. AI-Driven Feature Design: A chat interface allows users to describe new features or modifications in natural language, which Alloy translates into design changes, component additions, or interactive elements that match the product’s existing style.
3. Real-Time Collaboration and Sharing: Prototypes can be shared instantly with teams or stakeholders via a shareable link, with embedded commenting and version tracking. Exports to React code or Figma are supported for seamless handoff.

Problems Solved

1. Time-Consuming Prototyping Workflows: Alloy eliminates the need for manual screenshot stitching, design system alignment, or coding from scratch, reducing prototyping time from hours to minutes.
2. Target User Group: The tool is designed for product managers, designers, and developers at mid-to-large enterprises who require rapid, brand-accurate prototypes for validation or stakeholder alignment.
3. Typical Use Cases: Teams use Alloy to visualize customer feedback, test feature ideas against real UI components, and create investor-ready demos without engineering dependencies.

Unique Advantages

1. Context-Aware AI: Unlike generic design tools (e.g., Lovable), Alloy analyzes the user’s captured product to generate prototypes using actual components, fonts, and colors, ensuring pixel-perfect consistency.
2. Zero Setup Required: No design system imports or API integrations are needed—Alloy auto-detects patterns from captured pages and applies them to new prototypes.
3. Production-Ready Outputs: Prototypes are built as React apps, enabling direct code export for engineering teams, a feature absent in most no-code prototyping tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do I capture my product in Alloy? Install the Alloy browser extension, navigate to any page of your web app, and click “Capture” to generate a prototype; multiple captures build a component library for richer AI suggestions.
2. How is Alloy different from Figma or Lovable? Alloy uses your live product as the foundation for prototypes, whereas Figma/Lovable require manual design input, often resulting in off-brand or static mockups.
3. Is coding required to use Alloy? No—Alloy’s AI handles design and interactivity, but engineers can export prototypes as React code for further development via the Pro plan.
4. Can I import existing Figma designs into Alloy? Not currently, but Alloy supports exporting prototypes to Figma for refinement, with native Figma import capabilities under development.
5. Does Alloy work with private enterprise apps? Yes—the browser extension captures pages behind logins, and Alloy adheres to enterprise security standards like SOC 2 for data protection.
