Mokdao AI

What is Mo Dao AI?

MoDao AI is an AI workstation launched by Beijing MoDao KeShi Technology Co., Ltd. as part of its product design collaboration platform; it is intended for product managers, interaction designers, startup teams, and developers. It enables the conversion of natural language requirements, sketches, wireframes, or screenshots of competing products into high-fidelity, editable prototypes, and it can also generate PRDs, product plans, industry research reports, and front-end code.

Mokdao AI is not a standalone image generator. The AI-generated results can be integrated into Mokdao prototypes, where they can be further edited by dragging, interactive elements can be added, comments can be made, and demonstrations can be carried out. These results can also be combined with whiteboards, design tools, AIPPT, flowcharts, and team collaboration spaces, covering the entire process from idea generation, requirement analysis, prototype testing to development and delivery.

Core AI capabilities

1. Generate a high-fidelity prototype in one sentence

After the user describes the product type, target audience, pages, functions, and style, the AI analyzes the business requirements and generates the page layout, components, and content. For example, it is possible to request the creation of a dialogue page for an online consultation app, a backend data dashboard, or an e-commerce product detail page.

The generated results are compatible with various screen sizes, including those on smartphones, tablets, and web pages.

The more specific the description, the closer the initial results will be to what is expected. It is recommended to outline the list of pages, the navigation structure, the main functions, the fields involved, the different states, the error messages, and the visual style, rather than simply providing the name of the industry.

The business logic generated by AI still needs to be reviewed by the product owner.

2. Multiple rounds of dialogue for revisions

After it is generated, it is possible to make further adjustments to the entire layout or to specific areas using natural language – for example, by adding filters, switching to dark mode, reorganizing the cards, adding placeholders, or changing the text on buttons. AI-driven modifications can work in conjunction with manual editing on the canvas, allowing for a quick establishment of the structure followed by precise fine-tuning of the details.

Multiple rounds of modifications can affect other components or result in the loss of already confirmed content; it is important to save copies or keep a record of the different versions, and to check page navigation, fields, and the responsive layout after each modification.

3. Convert screenshots and sketches into editable prototypes

After uploading hand-drawn sketches, wireframes, the final UI design, or screenshots of competing products, AI uses visual recognition to identify the layout, components, and interface elements, and then recreates them as editable pages. It is ideal for converting paper-based ideas into digital form, transferring existing interfaces, or quickly analyzing the structure of competing products.

Restoring a screenshot does not entail ownership of the original design, nor does it guarantee pixel-perfect accuracy. Screenshots of competing products should be used for research and reconstruction purposes only; protected visual assets, brand elements, and unique interface designs should not be copied.

4. AI-generated PRDs and product plans

MokuDao AI is capable of generating structured PRDs based on product ideas or existing prototypes, covering functional modules, user workflows, business rules, and requirement specifications. It can also complete, expand, and optimize documents, creating requirement materials from prototypes in order to ensure a closer connection between the pages and the documents.

Automatic documentation tends to overlook aspects such as permissions, exceptions, data definitions, non-functional requirements, tracking mechanisms, risk control measures, and acceptance criteria. Before proceeding with development, it should be reviewed jointly by the product team, designers, developers, testers, and business stakeholders.

5. Design and convert code

AI can generate prototypes while producing HTML and CSS code, and it supports frameworks such as Tailwind CSS as well as responsive layouts; MoDao Prototypes also offers features for intelligent annotation, image slicing, and project delivery.

The code is suitable for demonstrations, MVP development, and initial front-end implementation, helping to shorten the time from design to actual implementation.

Generating code does not equate to having a production-ready application. Issues such as accessibility, component reuse, state management, interfaces, authentication, performance, browser compatibility, security, and testing still need to be addressed by the development team.

Do not deploy it directly without review.

6. Competitive Insight and Solution Review

The MoDao AI Agent can assist with requirement analysis, competitor research, logical verification, and plan evaluation, providing structured recommendations based on the product objectives. It is useful for organizing thoughts and identifying any omissions, but online materials, market data, and conclusions must be verified against their original sources.

7. AIPPT

The InkTool AIPPT allows for the creation of presentations from text, documents, Markdown files, or links, with the possibility of exporting them in PPTX, PDF, PNG, and JPG formats. Subscribers and lifetime members can use the regular AI-powered PowerPoint generation function unlimited times, while the expert mode offers a limited number of uses per month but enables access to more models.

The data, charts, citations, fonts, and layout in PPT need to be manually reviewed. After exporting to PowerPoint, it is also necessary to check compatibility, animations, image cropping, and the fonts used on the presentation device.

Traditional prototyping capabilities

The Inkscape prototype includes tens of thousands of apps, background elements, and display components; it supports graphics, pen tools, gradients, copying of component properties, batch organization, and the creation of custom component libraries. Users can add interactive events by connecting elements together, and they can use more than 30 different animation effects, nested dynamic components, as well as over 40 types of device skins to simulate a real-world experience.

The same infinite canvas can be used to display PRD annotations, flowcharts, and mind maps, thereby reducing the need to switch between different tools. The prototype offers functions such as an overview view, presentation mode, annotation tools, link sharing, and offline presentation packages, making it suitable for reviews, user testing, and roadshows.

Import, migrate, and deliver

The ink tool allows for batch import of Axure files, followed by further online editing and collaboration; it also provides paths for importing files from Sketch, XD, Photoshop, and other applications, as well as relevant plugins. Complex dynamic panels, fonts, expressions, and special components may not be reproduced accurately, so it is necessary to check each page after the migration.

For research and development delivery, annotations, cropped images, source files, HTML presentation packages, and sharing links can be used. Different membership levels impose varying restrictions on source files, the number of pages, version history, and the quality of exports.

Team collaboration

Team spaces enable multiple users to edit content in real time, leave comments, share projects, manage versions, and access a template library. The enterprise version offers organizational structures, role-based permissions, operation logs, handover of data upon employee departure, a dedicated domain name, and higher file storage limits, making it suitable for teams that need to work together on product assets.

Individual memberships do not support multi-person collaboration, and shared accounts cannot be used as a substitute for team accounts. The free version allows for experiencing collaboration and AI features, but there are clear limits on the number of projects, pages, elements, and files that can be used.

Private deployment and security

MoDao offers enterprises private deployment and intranet access, the ability to scale up according to business needs, as well as data migration services, training, and dedicated support. Enterprises can deploy their product documentation, designs, and collaboration tools in a more controlled environment.

Privatization does not automatically ensure that all AI models are completely offline. When making a purchase, it is necessary to determine where the AI inference takes place, who the model supplier is, how logs are handled, what happens to the data, how upgrades are carried out, what keys are used, and what external connections are required; these requirements should be included in the contract and acceptance criteria.

Price and version comparison

Prices and memberships

Registration for the free version grants 100 AI points; for features such as prototypes and whiteboards, 3 files can be created per type. A prototype file allows for 3 canvases and 300 elements, making it suitable for testing and creating small MVPs.

As of August 2026, the official price page shows that the subscription for the Prototype tool costs 199 yuan per year; it includes 100 prototype files, 500 canvases per file, and 500 pages. The lifetime version of this tool is available at a discounted price of 618 yuan, with no limit on the number of files and pages, and it also allows for the export of the original files.

The AIPPT subscription costs 99 yuan per year, while the whiteboard and design-related subscriptions each cost 199 yuan per year.

The premium membership costs 397 yuan per year and includes features such as prototypes, whiteboards, design tools, AIPPT, and flowcharts; it also comes with 5000 AI points as a bonus. The lifetime version of the premium membership is available at a special price of 1399 yuan, offers no limit on the number of files, and includes 10000 AI points as a bonus.

The so-called lifetime rights refer to a long-term license for a particular version of the software service; it is still necessary to read the terms of the order regarding service adjustments, AI quotas, and online requirements.

AI credits can be purchased separately: 3000 credits are available at a promotional price of 68 yuan, enough for approximately 30 creations or 90 modifications; 10000 credits cost 168 yuan, allowing for around 100 creations or 300 modifications.

The actual consumption depends on task complexity, as well as pages and models; the number of examples provided is not a guarantee.

Teams and enterprises are billed based on the number of seats and the products selected. The events page currently shows options such as a super seat for teams at 899 yuan per person per year, a corporate product seat at 599 yuan per person per year, and a design seat at 699 yuan per person per year.

Prices for events vary from the regular rates; commercial quotes are required for private deployments and customized services.

Documents after the membership expires

After the payment period or trial period expires, the account will be downgraded to the free version. Prototypes and whiteboards that exceed the free quota can still be viewed, but further editing is not possible.

Existing files will not be deleted automatically.

Important projects should still be exported and backed up regularly; reliance solely on cloud storage is not sufficient.

Mobile and desktop versions

The web and desktop clients enable the creation of complete prototypes, as well as the editing of whiteboards, designs, PPTs, and flowcharts. The iPhone and iPad apps provide features such as the InkTool AI Agent, the ability to view prototypes and whiteboards, live demonstrations, and offline previews.

Apart from its AI capabilities, the mobile version is mainly used for viewing rather than full editing.

The current app requires iOS or iPadOS 12.0 or later.

Company and open-source status

Mo Dao is owned by Beijing Mo Dao Ke Shi Technology Co., Ltd. The platform offers commercial SaaS solutions, client-based applications, and enterprise-specific customized products; it does not provide open-source code for a complete prototype editor, AI agents, or collaboration services, and therefore it is not considered an open-source tool.
