Else enables prototyping directly inside a real product codebase, allowing PMs and designers to test with real data and hand engineers a production-ready PR. Prototypes run in the live environment and can be shipped to production with minimal engineering effort.

El se installs a GitHub app in your frontend repo and uses a lightweight client SDK to run experiments inside your live product. It clones your real codebase, inherits your design system, and can extend the backend with new functionality via a full backend spec and integration prompt. Prototypes produce a production-ready PR that engineers can review, test, and merge, avoiding rework and mismatches between prototypes and the live product.

Who it’s for: Product teams (PMs, designers, and engineers) who want to prototype features directly in their real product codebase and ship production PRs quickly.

Features
  • Prototype directly on your real codebase
  • Auto-inherits design system and components
  • Full stack extension for new backend functionality
  • Production-ready PRs for engineering review
  • Live user testing with zero engineering involvement
  • Credits system and tiered plans
  • Supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket

Most of my career has been in startups, it's my happy place. Most recently I was GM of a business unit at Unity after joining through the Parsec acquisition. I'm excited to be back in the trenches again!
