01
Know and love the problem
Start with a problem you understand. Taste and judgement stay with you.
Get It Live · trust filter
Know the problem. Define success. Pick the AI. Ship.
AI did not invent product thinking. It removed the need for a team between an insight and a live product. Use this site to judge which AI tools deserve time, effort, and money.
The path we teach
How we work02
Define success criteria
If you can say what good looks like, you are already more than halfway.
03
Choose AI tools that match
This directory. Pick tools that fit the problem.
04
Get it live
From a working build to people using it. Shipping is the point.
The directory covers step three.
How we scoreFour sections. Not a catalogue of every model. Tools that can help one person who knows a problem get something live.
From a defined problem to something people can click
Demo and prototype
Tools that turn a brief into a live demo and keep the product looking like itself.
From idea to a shipped product, with a person still reviewing
Build with agents
Tools that help one person take an idea through to something live, with review still in the loop. A wrong turn costs time and attention.
Keep the product yours when AI generates UI
Design systems
Tools that keep design tokens (colours, type, and spacing), components, and brand decisions intact when you generate an interface.
Evidence before you spend time building
UX research
Tools that help you learn what users need before you spend time, effort, and money on the wrong thing.
Listings
All listingsEach listing is a judgement against time to live, money to useful, effort to own, problem-fit, and lock-in. Example cards are marked. Do not cite examples as product advice.
Bolt (StackBlitz)
StackBlitz's AI full-stack builder at bolt.new that turns prompts into runnable websites, web apps, and Expo mobile projects in the browser, with Bolt Cloud hosting, GitHub sync, and ZIP export.
Claude Code
Anthropic's coding agent (terminal, editor extensions, Desktop Code tab, and cloud sessions) for reading a codebase, editing files, running commands, opening pull requests, and carrying development work through to release.
Cursor
Coding platform (desktop editor, command line, web, and Cloud Agents) for product and engineering teams to explore a codebase, plan and implement changes, open pull requests you can review, and review those requests with Bugbot.
Devin
Cognition’s AI software engineering platform (Devin Cloud web agent, Devin Desktop, CLI, Slack/Teams, API, Review, and Automations) for planning, implementing, testing, and shipping production changes across real repositories in the product development lifecycle.
Dovetail
Customer intelligence platform that transcribes, tags and summarises interviews, usability sessions, surveys and feedback, with AI Chat on Free and Agents and Digital Twins on Enterprise. It analyses evidence you bring; it does not recruit participants or run tests.
Example Agent Loop
Example listing for Build with agents. Not a review of a real product.
Example Demo Studio
Example of a prompt-to-demo listing. Not a review of a real product.
Example Token Bridge
Example of a design-system listing. Not a review of a real product.
Figma Make
Figma's AI prompt-to-app tool that turns natural language and existing Figma designs into interactive prototypes and web apps, with Make kits for design-system context, share/publish URLs, ZIP and GitHub export, and (closed beta) local-codebase PR handoff.
Google AI Studio
Google's browser tool for trying Gemini, and for building web or Android apps from plain-language prompts, with Firebase, GitHub sync, Cloud Run publish, and a ZIP download.
Great Question
Research platform for interviews, surveys, and unmoderated tests on Figma prototypes or live apps, with a list of your participants, a pay-as-you-go panel, and a connection for coding assistants (MCP). You can buy a seat without a sales call, at $129 a month, and there is no free plan.
Lovable
AI full-stack app builder that turns natural-language prompts into editable React web apps (UI, backend, auth, publish), with GitHub/GitLab sync for engineering handoff.
Lovable vs v0 vs Bolt.new: which to pick for a demo by Friday
Three chat-to-app builders that all get a clickable, hosted demo live in days. Pick Lovable for a full-stack demo a non-engineer can drive, v0 if the demo must look like your product or land in your Next.js repo, and Bolt if you want the largest free allowance and a Figma frame as the starting point.
Lyssna
Self-serve UX research platform (formerly UsabilityHub) for unmoderated tests, surveys and interviews, with a pay-per-minute participant panel open to every plan, including Free.
Magic Patterns
AI design tool for product teams that turns prompts, product briefs, screenshots, and imported design systems into interactive React prototypes, with a shared canvas, publish URLs, Figma export, GitHub sync, and a handoff into Cursor or Claude Code.
Maze
Self-serve user research platform for unmoderated prototype and usability tests, surveys, card sorts and interviews, with a pay-per-response participant panel and an Enterprise-only AI moderator.
Relume
Marketing-site component system for Figma, Webflow, and React, maintained by people. AI Site Builder assembles pages, Relume Publish hosts them (beta), and a library connection (MCP) lets coding agents use the real components instead of a made-up interface.
Replit Agent
Replit's autonomous AI builder that turns natural-language prompts into full-stack apps (and designs, slides, and more) inside the Replit cloud IDE, with Plan/Build modes, Design Canvas, built-in auth/database/hosting, checkpoints, and GitHub handoff.
Specify
Design token engine that gathers tokens and assets from Figma and Tokens Studio, stores them in Specify's token format (SDTF), and sends production-ready output through parsers, GitHub pull requests, a command-line tool, a developer kit (SDK), and an HTTP API.
Sprig
Enterprise survey platform with AI agents that design, field and synthesise studies, plus in-product surveys you can drop into AI-built prototypes. Sales-led pricing and enterprise-only panels make it a poor fit for a solo builder.
Supernova
Design system platform that manages your tokens, components, and docs, automates design-to-code pipelines, and gives coding agents the same source through MCP, a standard connection for those agents.
v0 by Vercel
Vercel's AI builder that turns prompts (and mockups) into React/Next.js UIs on shadcn/ui, with live preview, GitHub PR handoff, and one-click Vercel deploy.
