Users can create interactive prototypes, slides, and one-pagers through conversation, with brand systems automatically applied from existing codebases and design files. Key capabilities include importing from images/documents/websites, inline refinement controls, team collaboration, and export to multiple formats. The standout feature is a handoff bundle that packages designs for direct use in Claude Code, collapsing the design-to-development gap. Opus 4.7 enables this with upgraded vision (3x larger image input), improved design taste, better long-context coherence, and stronger coding performance (70% on CursorBench). The post also covers integrating Claude Code with Appwrite via MCP servers for full-stack prototyping. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
