Modao

墨刀 (Modao) is a Chinese prototyping and product design tool with AI-assisted wireframing, interactive mockups and requirement documentation.

Overview

墨刀 helps product managers and designers turn ideas into clickable prototypes quickly. Its AI generates wireframes from text descriptions, suggests component layouts and produces draft requirement documents from prototype flows. A rich component library covers mobile, web and desktop patterns, and interactive linking makes demos feel real during stakeholder reviews. Collaboration features support comments, version management and real-time co-editing, while handoff specs give developers accurate measurements and assets.

Key Features

• AI wireframe generation from natural-language descriptions
• Interactive prototyping with rich component libraries
• Requirement document drafting from prototype flows
• Real-time collaboration with comments and version history
• Developer handoff with specs and asset export
• Templates for app, web and enterprise workflows

Pricing

墨刀 offers free personal use with project limits; paid plans unlock unlimited projects, team collaboration, AI credits and enterprise features.

Who Is It For

It serves Chinese product managers, UX designers and startup teams who need fast prototypes and shared requirement clarity.

How It Works

Describe the product flow you have in mind and let AI generate a wireframe of screens and components, then refine layouts in the visual editor with drag-and-drop. Interactive links make the prototype clickable for stakeholder reviews, and requirement documents can be generated from the flow. Developer handoff provides measurements and exportable assets.

In Practice

Product managers get the fastest results using AI wireframes for the first review meeting, then iterating based on feedback instead of perfecting mockups alone. Keep the requirement doc linked to the prototype so both stay in sync as scope changes. For stakeholder presentations, the clickable prototype communicates more than slides — run the review in the tool.

FAQ

Is 墨刀 free to use?

Yes, individuals can prototype for free with limits. Teams and AI-heavy workflows require a paid subscription.

Does 墨刀 offer an API?

墨刀 supports enterprise integration and plugin extension; a fully open public API is secondary to its collaboration features.

How does 墨刀 compare to alternatives?

Its AI wireframing and requirement drafting speed up the earliest product stages more than design-first global tools.

Can 墨刀 generate requirement documents?

Yes, requirement documents can be produced from prototype flows, keeping specifications aligned with the design as scope evolves. Teams review both together, which reduces the mismatch between what was documented and what was designed.

Does 墨刀 support team collaboration?

Yes, real-time co-editing, comments and version history keep teams aligned during design iterations. Stakeholders review prototypes directly in the browser, which shortens feedback loops compared with emailed screenshots.
