What is Alloy?

Alloy turns an existing product into a prototyping surface: connect your codebase or capture pages with a browser extension, prompt changes in chat, preview them live, share cloud sessions with the team, then push approved work as a GitHub Pull Request.

Alloy is an AI prototyping tool built for product managers who want to test ideas against their actual product rather than a mockup. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, a team connects Alloy to its codebase or captures live pages through a browser extension, then makes changes by prompting in chat. The agent works with the existing pages, components and design system, so a new concept comes out looking like something the in-house design team produced rather than a generic AI template. In practice the workflow is conversational. A session runs your app in a sandbox, and each prompt is previewed live in the browser with a changes log alongside it. Sessions live in the cloud, which means a product manager can start one from Slack without touching a local developer environment, run several in parallel, and hand a link to colleagues or customers for comment. Feedback arrives as comments on the shared prototype. When an idea survives review, the change can be raised as a Pull Request on GitHub and rolled out, so the output is production-oriented code rather than a throwaway artifact. Alloy aims at product leaders and PMs at companies that already have a shipped application and the design system to match. The browser extension needs no setup and suits quick visual prototyping, while connecting the full codebase takes admin permissions and roughly fifteen minutes but unlocks running the whole app and writing code against it. Design teams are covered through Figma import and export, and a library feature lets a team upload its design system so prototypes use real components and tokens. That puts Alloy in a different lane from general app builders, which typically ask for screenshots or text prompts and hand back off-brand screens, and from command line coding agents that assume a developer machine. The trade-off is that Alloy is purpose-built for prototyping inside an existing product, so it is not the tool for someone starting a product from nothing. Pricing is not detailed on the homepage beyond a free start and a mention of credits.

How do you use Alloy?

  1. 1Capture your product or connect the codebase
    Add the browser extension for instant capture with no setup, or connect your codebase if you want Alloy to run the whole app and write production code.

  2. 2Upload your design system as a library
    Add your components, tokens and assets so the agent builds with your real design language instead of generic styling.

  3. 3Prompt a change in a session
    Describe the feature you want in the prompt box and preview it live in the sandboxed browser, checking the changes log as you iterate.
  4. 4Share the prototype and collect comments
    Send a link to teammates or customers, set access to workspace or public, and gather feedback as comments on the prototype.
  5. 5Push the change as a Pull Request
    When the idea is approved, raise a Pull Request in GitHub so the change can ship to customers.
  6. 6Move designs in and out of Figma
    In a Pro workspace, import a frame or Figma Design link from the plus menu, and export the current prototype screen back to Figma.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Prototypes are built from your real pages, components and design system, so output matches the shipped productAI
  • Cloud sessions can be started from Slack and run in parallel without a local developer environmentAI
  • Every session can be exported, read through MCP or turned into a GitHub Pull RequestAI
  • Browser extension needs no setup, which makes a first visual prototype fastAI
  • Figma import and export keeps design teams in the loop on the same screensAI

Cons

  • Figma import is limited to Pro workspaces and Figma Make files are not supportedAI
  • Full codebase connection needs admin permissions and around fifteen minutes of setupAI
  • The homepage gives no concrete pricing, so budget planning has to wait for a sales conversationAI
  • Value depends on having an existing product and codebase; teams starting from scratch get little from itAI
  • Prototypes depend on prompt quality, and there is no mention of versioning or rollback beyond Pull RequestsAI
