About Chordio

Designers and product managers are often locked out of prototyping on top of their existing product. Security policies, large code base, and complex build setup all stand between the promise of code-first front-end design and reality. The Chordio Workbench helps non-technical team members prototype new experiences on top of their existing products even when they don’t have access to the source code. The full workflow runs in Claude Code on your local machine. It starts with cloning the front-end of the product into the workbench repository directly from the browser and compiling it into code a coding agent can work with. This means anyone can start prototyping in minutes without having to worry about a complex environment setup. The Workbench includes agent skills to help ensure prototypes meet team standards, are backed by research, and presented to stakeholders with clarity.
