Key Insights
The Advantage of Using Screenshots
If you have an existing app or website, take a screenshot and upload it to Claude. The AI will automatically analyze the fonts, color palette, and visual style for accurate replication.
Prototype Interaction Levels
The 'depth' level determines how clickable your app will be. Scale 4 provides near-complete functionality; however, to turn it into a fully functional real-world app, you will need 'Cloud Code'.
Automated Testing
Claude Design performs automated app testing in the background. You don't need to monitor the process constantly; just let the system work until it's finished.

Step by Step
Mobile App Prototype Development Workflow
- Enter the application name in the name field to set up the designer environment.
- Choose a design context method; select 'Design System' (recommended), upload a 'Screenshot' of an existing app, insert 'Codebase', or import a 'Figma' file.
- Type your main prompt explaining the app's function and purpose in the prompt area at the bottom.
- Select your desired visual vibe based on the options provided by the AI.
- Choose a device frame type, such as 'iPhone frame'.
- Define the list of specific screens for the AI to generate (e.g., Home, Product Details, Cart).
- Set the prototype depth on a scale of 1 to 4 (Select '4' for a near-complete and interactive application).
- Wait for the AI to process development and run automated testing in the left panel (estimated time up to 10 minutes).
- Interactively test the generated prototype to ensure buttons and functions like 'Add to Cart' are working smoothly.
