Product strategy, design, and development
Turn your idea into an editable scope, a planning estimate, and a browser prototype.
Your idea opens in Studio for review. Starter mode uses predefined app patterns, so check and edit its assumptions. Custom AI generation requires a connected provider. No account or payment to explore.
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
See what a first-release plan looks like before you start. Explore the scope, the assumptions, and a working sample.

FROM IDEA TO FIRST RELEASE
A shared brief, a focused scope, and a workflow you can put in front of people.
01 / Define the problem
Example product brief
Put the user, the problem, and the useful outcome on one page. Make the open questions visible.
02 / Focus the first release
Example release boundary
Choose the workflow that matters first. Keep later ideas in view without adding them to the first build.
03 / Learn from something real
Explore a browser prototype with your team. Use the feedback to decide what should happen next.
Every extra feature adds work. Compare a focused first release with a broader scope, then decide what can wait.
Illustrative examples at $85 USD/hour, one person, and a 30% planning allowance. Excludes hosting, external service fees and production hardening. These are assumptions to explore, not quotes.
Get specific about the user, the problem, and the first workflow. Then use the scope and prototype to challenge assumptions before a larger investment.
Stop debating features before your team agrees who needs help and what better looks like.
See what belongs in the first release and what can wait without losing the bigger plan.
Try a working sample with real interactions, then ask users where the flow still breaks down.

Make scope, cost assumptions, and review points visible before agreeing to a build.
Start in Studio with a plan you can edit. Get hands-on help from Runwise when the next step calls for research, design, or engineering.
Start in StudioTell us who needs the product, what gets in their way, and what you want to improve.
Review the proposed features. Change the priorities, define what each feature must do, and move later ideas out of the first release.
Explore a browser prototype, collect feedback, and use what you learn to plan production development.
Bring your evidence and scope to a project review. Agree the deliverables and terms before paid work begins.
Prepare a review brief →Whether you need to shape an idea, deliver a first release (MVP), or improve an existing product, start with an agreed scope and a written proposal.
01 / DEFINE
The feature list is growing. The first customer is still unclear.
Find the user problem, test the riskiest assumptions, and draw a release boundary your team can defend.
02 / BUILD
Ready to build, but wary of runaway scope.
Turn a reviewed scope into working software, with design, engineering, testing, and milestone decisions connected.
03 / IMPROVE
People sign up, then get stuck or leave.
Trace friction in real workflows, review reliability and support patterns, and choose what to fix next.
Choose the question blocking your next decision. Leave with a scorecard, a cost scenario, or practical worksheets your team can use.
01 / DIAGNOSE
Check the customer evidence and decisions behind your idea before the feature list grows.
02 / COMPARE
Move the rate, scope, allowance, and team size. See which assumptions change the plan.
03 / PREPARE
Use printable worksheets to map the user problem, test the workflow, and review launch risks.
The free worksheets and planning tools need no account or payment. Studio saves your draft in your browser and holds runs temporarily on its server. It shows whether an external AI service is connected before you start.
Do not share passwords, API keys, regulated data, or confidential customer records in any idea brief.
See where your information goes →Create an editable scope, a planning estimate, and a browser prototype with downloadable source. Starter mode uses predefined app patterns; connected AI mode can generate custom scope and source. Production accounts, shared data, payments, and integrations need further engineering and review.
Yes. Edit the stories, groups, roles, notes, estimates, and release assignments. Undo and redo scope changes. When you download a current prototype, its source ZIP includes the full scope and deferred stories.
No. The calculator compares illustrative scenarios using the features, rate, allowance, and team size you choose. A reviewed Runwise proposal sets the actual price and delivery terms.
Tell us who needs the product, how they handle the problem today, who makes the buying decision, and what you want to improve. The discovery workbook helps you find the gaps.
Describe the user and the problem. Start with a scope you can edit, then explore a browser prototype.
