Hatch

An infinite canvas for research and prototypes

Visit official site

What Hatch is

A canvas-first workspace. Research material, images, code, documents and generated results sit together spatially, with AI able to act on any of it.

It is aimed at the messy early phase before something becomes a proper project.

What you can do with it

  • Spread material across an infinite canvas
  • Process documents, images, code and data with AI
  • Generate interactive prototypes
  • Explore app or site concepts
  • Keep results next to their sources
  • Compare material side by side

Who it is for

  • Product managers and designers
  • Researchers and content teams
  • Teams doing early concept work
  • People organising cross-format material

What to watch out for

  • Generated prototypes are concepts, not deployable applications
  • More assets means more naming and version discipline is needed
  • Only upload material you have the right to process
  • It does not replace documentation systems or a code repository

Pros & cons

✓ What we like

  • Handles mixed-format material
  • Multiple models available
  • Prototype generation
  • Good for early exploration

! What to watch out for

  • Needs structure discipline as it grows
  • Prototypes still need real development

FAQ

Does it replace documentation tools?

No. It is a visual workspace for organising and exploring; formal archiving still belongs in a documentation system.

What suits an infinite canvas?

Projects with several sources needing side-by-side comparison, such as research, ideation and content curation.

Can it ship live apps?

It can produce interactive prototypes and early ideas. Live applications still need development, testing and deployment.
