Which projects qualify for a free prototype?

A project qualifies when it has a defined direction, a workflow specific enough to prototype, and someone involved who can act on what the preview shows. We take on a limited number of previews at a time, so we confirm fit in the first call before agreeing on scope. Briefs that are still an open exploration of several ideas are usually too early — there is no single workflow to frame. Requests to preview an entire platform are rescoped: we build one workflow well rather than six superficially, which is what makes the result useful for a decision.

Why do you offer a prototype for free?

We offer it because a shared understanding of the product is the fastest way for both sides to judge whether to work together. The cost is bounded by design. One workflow, AI-assisted development, and a few days of our team’s time cost us less than a long pre-sales cycle that ends in a mismatch discovered during development. You get a concrete basis for your decision; we learn what matters to your team and how you work. If there is no fit, the preview ends there with no obligation on either side.

Can we keep the prototype if we don’t continue with you?

Yes — demo access and any handoff arrangements are agreed as part of the scope before we start, so you know upfront what you keep. In practice, most clients retain access to the interactive prototype and the walkthrough notes, since these are sufficient for use in internal discussions or when passing the information on to another team. The prototype is not a production codebase: it operates using demonstration data and has simulated integrations, and therefore viewing it as a starting point for engineering results in more rework than it prevents. We make this distinction clear during the walkthrough.

Can the prototype be developed into the actual product?

Not directly. The prototype demonstrates a proposed experience; production development starts from validated requirements, real data models, and working integrations. What carries forward is the thinking, not the code. The interaction patterns, the information structure, and the decisions that you confirmed during the walkthrough serve as inputs for Product Discovery or for a development engagement. Reusing AI-generated prototype code in production is where teams most often lose time — the simplified logic and the simulated integrations conceal the cases that fail when subjected to real loads. We rebuild the engineering properly and keep the direction you already approved.

How much time does prototyping take, and what information do you need?

Expect one scoping conversation, a short review of materials you already have, and a walkthrough once the prototype is ready — typically a few hours of your team’s time across several days. We need your brief, who the users are, what they need to accomplish, and which workflow you want explored. Existing wireframes, process documents, or screenshots of a current system speed this up. The most common delay isn’t our build; it’s waiting on inputs — vague scope produces a prototype that demonstrates the wrong workflow, so we confirm the scenario in writing before starting.

Prototype First

Get a Prototype Before Choosing a Development Partner

We turn one key workflow from your brief into a quick, AI-assisted prototype, at no cost. Explore the proposed experience, share feedback, and see whether our team is the right fit for your project.

An Early View of the Experience We Offer

A conversation can show you what matters in your project; a prototype makes that understanding concrete by showing how a user carries out a task, how the information is arranged, and where an interaction might be simplified.

We use AI tools to assemble a focused, interactive prototype around your brief. Our team shapes the scenario and walks you through the design choices. You can react to something concrete while still having room to change direction.

What you receive

A link to an interactive prototype of one agreed workflow.
A walkthrough of the proposed experience and the choices behind it.
A clear explanation of which behavior is implemented and which is simulated.
A discussion of feedback, open questions, and the most useful next step.

The prototype could make use of demonstration data, simplified logic, and simulated integrations, and we will review these limitations during the walkthrough. The prototype outlines the direction we are proposing, but the technical feasibility, detailed requirements, and how production will operate may still need to be verified separately.

How Is a Prototype Different from a Paid Engagement

Prototype First
- Does Lumitech understand our project and propose a useful direction?
- A focused preview of one workflow
- May use demonstration data and simulated connections
- Result: A prototype walkthrough and shared understanding of the direction
- Free for qualified potential projects
AI Prototyping / POC Development
- Can the agreed concept or technical assumption work under the defined conditions?
- A separately agreed development and validation scope
- Data, integrations, and test conditions selected to address the agreed hypothesis
- Result: A prototype or POC with findings and next steps appropriate to its scope
- Paid engagement with agreed deliverables

From Your Brief to a Conversation around the Product

Frame One Useful Scenario
01
Let us know what you would like to build, who is going to use it, and what they need to achieve. We’ll then assess fit, select a workflow to investigate, and agree on the scope and timing of the preview.
A focused starting point
Explore the Proposed Direction
02
We use AI-assisted development to create the agreed experience, usually within days once scope and inputs are ready. The prototype focuses on the interactions that help explain our vision for your project.
Built for an early discussion
Walk Through Scope
03
We will explain what works, point out any simplified behavior, and get your feedback. You can then decide whether our approach meets your requirements. We agree on demo access and handoff arrangements.
A concrete basis for your decision

Discuss fit, availability, and a useful starting scope.

A Closer Look at Individual Product Workflows

Explore these workflow examples to see the kinds of product decisions a focused preview can make tangible. Your prototype’s scope will depend on the scenario we agree on together.

Bilingual Assessment Journey

The candidate experience across questions, scoring, and results in English and Arabic.

Configuration Workflow

How a user enters panel specifications and explores the resulting configuration.

Site Reporting Flow

How a field worker captures a daily record and moves it through review and export.

Voice-Assisted ERP Workflow

How a voice interaction can guide a user through a request involving business records.

Booking and Dispatch Journey

How a booking moves between the customer, dispatcher, and field team.

Brief-to-Selection Flow

How buyers and providers move through a brief, submissions, and selection.

A preview can demonstrate a workflow while leaving calculations, live integrations, payment processing, or other technical questions for a separate validation stage.

Which Workflow Should We Prototype?

Describe what you’re building, and our engineers will suggest the scenario worth previewing.

A Clearer Basis for Your Decision

What You Gain

An early prototype provides your team with a tangible subject for discussion. During this stage, you can look over the direction that we have proposed, spot any areas that need modification, and agree on the expectations prior to the start of development. That helps both teams decide on the next step with a shared understanding of the project.

Why It Works for Lumitech

We invest in this step for selected opportunities because a shared understanding makes it easier to decide whether to work together. You can evaluate our thinking, and we can learn what matters most to your team. If there is a fit, we agree on the next stage and its scope together.

Show Us the Workflow You Want to Improve or Create

Tell us about the project and the experience you want users to have. We take on a limited number of previews at a time and will reply within one business day to discuss fit, availability, and a useful starting scope.
