Build

The space where your ideas become testable prototypes — collaboratively, intuitively, and on-brand.

Plan: All

What is Build?

Build is the core experience in Create mode, where you and your team visually bring product ideas to life.

It’s not just a wireframing canvas — it’s a fully connected environment where your prototype always reflects your design system, and collaboration is built in.

In the Build section, you can:

  • Turn ideas into interactive flows using real components and tokens
  • Use natural language to accelerate prototyping
  • Collaborate with teammates without stepping on each other
  • Share prototypes with stakeholders for feedback and alignment

How to use it

Build with AI

  • Describe what you want to create — a new flow, page, or feature — and AI instantly builds it using your connected design system
  • You can start from a blank project, mention a document, or import from Figma.
    AI transforms your description into an interactive prototype you can immediately edit, style, and iterate on.

Chat with your team

  • Collaborate directly in the prototype with built-in chat.
  • Ask for changes, discuss ideas, and give feedback in real time — all in context, without switching tools.
  • Every message is linked to what’s visible on screen, keeping discussions focused and actionable.

Threads

  • Explore ideas safely in separate threads
  • Each collaborator can work independently, experiment freely, and merge changes later without affecting others’ work.

Insert from Figma (soon)

  • Import a specific frame or flow from Figma to continue building directly in Portal.
  • You can stay connected to your design system and make imported screens interactive without manually recreating them.

Attach files

  • Attach relevant materials — screenshots, documents, or research notes — directly to your prototype.
  • Everything your team needs for context and decision-making stays in one place.

Mention a document

  • Prototype directly from a document reference.
  • Mention a PRD, one-pager, or spec, and Portal automatically generates a prototype based on the document’s description and context.

Share your prototype

  • Generate a share link to preview or comment on your prototype.
  • Stakeholders can view, navigate, and give feedback without needing edit access — making reviews fast and transparent.
