Folio Labs launches 'DraftDeck' — AI-first UX prototyping for product teams

Design · 3 min read

Folio Labs unveiled DraftDeck, a web-based prototyping platform that converts design prompts and user stories into interactive prototypes with accessible code snippets. DraftDeck combines a component marketplace, constraint-based layout engine, and an AI assistant that suggests flows and microcopy.

The company built DraftDeck to address the slow handoff between product managers, designers, and engineers. DraftDeck supports tokenized design systems and exports production-ready React and SwiftUI fragments, while keeping a visual editor for designers who prefer manual refinement.

Early adopters include two fintech firms and a consumer social app that reported a 40% reduction in iteration cycles during pilot programs. Folio Labs emphasized control features — versioning, a permissions model, and an audit trail — to keep AI output auditable and consistent with brand guidelines.

Folio Labs launched with a freemium tier, plugin APIs for design systems, and enterprise pricing with single sign-on and on-premise deployment options. The company also announced a $12 million seed extension to accelerate enterprise GTM and international expansion.
