Product Design is a plugin from OpenAI that helps teams move from an early idea, screenshot, or live URL to an interactive prototype. It begins by clarifying the brief or design context, then supports exploring multiple visual directions, auditing existing user flows, researching user friction, converting a live URL or image into working code, and turning static screenshots into interactive prototypes. It relies on a set of internal skills such as ideate, image-to-code, url-to-code, audit, research, and share to carry out these workflows. The plugin can optionally connect to external tools for browsing, design, and hosting when they are available.
About the service
This plugin is not itself a standalone SaaS product; rather it is a design workflow plugin that can call on external tools and services when they are connected, including browser automation tools (such as Chrome or Playwright) for inspecting live products, Figma or Canva for carrying prototypes into a design workspace, image generation for producing visual concepts, and hosting services such as Vercel for publishing runnable prototypes.
