What Prototyper was

Released during the first wave of custom GPTs, Prototyper was presented as a conversational shortcut from an idea to a hosted web prototype. Contemporary listings attributed it to Florian Standhartinger and described it as able to craft, host and explain prototypes.

The original GPT is no longer publicly available. Its core use case is now covered more directly by current prompt-to-app platforms that provide source control, integrated deployment and clearer ongoing product support.
