No Code. No Waiting. Just Prototyping.
How to Turn Screenshots & PRDs Into Real Prototypes (With AI)
Welcome to The AI Curiosity!
This post is for every PM, solo founder, and builder who’s ever sat on a product idea
Not because it wasn’t good.
But because they didn’t know how to bring it to life, fast.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I need an engineer to show this idea to users.”
“I don’t know how to turn my PRD into something real.”
“I can’t build because I can’t code.”
Then this guide is for you.
Why Snapshot‑to‑Prototype Matters
Imagine shipping a clickable LinkedIn mock in under 60 seconds—saving hours of design work and getting feedback sooner. With AI‑powered no‑code tools like Bolt.new and Lovable, you can skip manual rebuilding and focus on testing your big ideas.
Live Workshop Recap
On May 13,
and hosted a hands‑on session as part of the Microsoft Teams AI Enthusiast Series.The goal?
Show how anyone can build working prototypes with AI using just screenshots or PRDs.
Here’s what we covered live:
Screenshot → Front‑End
Snap any app screen, upload to Bolt.new, and get a React + Tailwind CSS prototype in minutes.PRD → UI
Feed a plain‑text product spec into Lovable, and watch it render your outline into interactive components.Feature Enhancements
Learn how to layer new functionality on an existing UI—no code required.Tool Deep‑Dive
Bolt.new for screenshot prototyping, Lovable for PRD conversion (plus pro tips for both).Live Q&A
Answered real‑time questions from PMs and builders on best practices and troubleshooting.

To help you build after the session. We’ve packaged everything you need into 2 ready-to-use guides:
Guide 1: Prompts to Turn PRD → Prototype (Lovable)
Beginner-friendly prompt to generate a full PRD
Follow-up prompt to generate the frontend using Lovable
How to expand the prototype step-by-step
Guide 2: Bolt Screenshot-to-Prototype Setup (Bolt)
How to import screenshots into Bolt
Tips for structuring your app visually
Common beginner pitfalls & how to avoid them
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of the session + reading the guides, you’ll know how to:
Go from “idea in your head” → “prototype on your screen”
Use AI as a UI copilot, not a crutch
Demo your app — without hiring a designer or coder
And the best part?
You can reuse this process for every feature, every sprint, every pitch.
Final Thought
In a world that moves at AI speed.
The best builders aren’t waiting for approvals.
They’re prototyping in real-time.
You don’t need to code.
You just need to start.
