Before a product succeeds in the market, it must succeed in testing—and that’s where prototypes make all the difference. The Power of Prototypes, an Agent.so guide, walks you through a hands-on process for turning ideas into tangible, testable models. Whether you're building something new or improving what already exists, prototyping helps you gather early feedback, reduce risk, and make smarter decisions.

This guide helps you streamline product development by ensuring every step is focused, validated, and user-centered.

Test smarter, not later

Too often, great ideas fail because they aren’t tested early enough. This guide gives you a clear framework for creating prototypes at various levels of fidelity, from quick sketches to interactive mockups. You’ll learn how to test concepts efficiently, collect meaningful feedback, and use those insights to shape stronger solutions—before investing in full-scale development.

With strategies rooted in user-centric design, you'll focus on what matters most: building products that solve real problems.

Build iteratively and validate with confidence

Prototyping isn’t a one-and-done process—it’s iterative. This Agent.so guide outlines a step-by-step approach to refining your ideas through continuous testing and improvement, using structured feedback loops. You’ll also explore case studies—like Dropbox’s early demo—that illustrate how early-stage prototypes can lead to major breakthroughs.

By following this approach, you can minimize costly missteps and accelerate innovation, all while staying closely aligned with your audience.

Use this guide to prototype with purpose, validate your vision, and bring better products to life.
