Napkin sketch to clickable prototype, mid-meeting

A product designer photographed a whiteboard sketch during a client workshop and had Claude Code turn it into a working clickable prototype before the meeting ended — real components, real interactions, deployed to a URL the client opened on their phone.

The gap between "imagine this" and "tap this" used to be a week; closing it inside the meeting changes how workshops sell work.

The how

  1. Phone photo of the whiteboard flow, dropped straight into Claude Code.
  2. A standing project template (design tokens, component library, deploy config) means generation lands styled, not generic.
  3. Claude Code builds the three-screen flow as a Next.js app against the template, ~15 minutes including two correction rounds.
  4. Push to a preview URL; client walks the flow on their phone while the workshop is still running.

Run it back

The unlock is the pre-built template — tokens and components ready so output looks like you, not like a demo. Build that once; every workshop after is theater.
