What is ProtoPie?
ProtoPie opens an MCP server, putting agents inside the prototyping tool.
Version 10.3.0 ships ProtoPie MCP in beta, following a 10.x line that has been steadily about AI inside Studio. Version 10.0.0 introduced ProtoPie AI in beta, generating triggers, responses, and logic from natural language, alongside inline annotation blocks and a redesigned formula editor with error detection. The 10.1.2 release was consolidation on that base — response reliability, onboarding, AI availability extended to the China region, and Figma element conversion into editable states. The feed itself is noisy, repeating the 10.1.2 release across several rows with differing levels of detail.
What is Filmhub?
Filmhub is automating the QC gate that stands between indie titles and channels.
Filmhub distributes independent films and shows to streaming channels, and its recent releases target the friction before distribution: captions, artwork checks, asset fixes and clearer payment schedules. October brought renamed plans and a cheaper option funded by internal tooling. Releases come every few weeks and focus on producer workflow.

ProtoPie
3.8DESIGN
ProtoPie opens an MCP server, putting agents inside the prototyping tool.
◆ Current state
Version 10.3.0 ships ProtoPie MCP in beta, following a 10.x line that has been steadily about AI inside Studio. Version 10.0.0 introduced ProtoPie AI in beta, generating triggers, responses, and logic from natural language, alongside inline annotation blocks and a redesigned formula editor with error detection. The 10.1.2 release was consolidation on that base — response reliability, onboarding, AI availability extended to the China region, and Figma element conversion into editable states. The feed itself is noisy, repeating the 10.1.2 release across several rows with differing levels of detail.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc from 10.0.0 to 10.3.0 is a tool teaching itself to be driven by something other than a designer's cursor. Natural-language generation of interaction logic came first, Figma conversion reduced the cost of getting existing design work in, and an MCP server exposes the prototype to external agents. Release notes for the newest versions are thin — 10.3.0 is a single line — so the shape of the MCP surface is not yet visible in the changelog.
◆ Prediction
MCP in beta usually precedes documentation of what it actually exposes; whether agents can read a prototype's state or author triggers and responses is the question the entries do not yet answer. Given the Figma conversion work, the likely direction is agents that assemble interaction logic from imported design files rather than only inspecting finished pies.
Filmhub
5.0DESIGN
Filmhub is automating the QC gate that stands between indie titles and channels.
◆ Current state
Filmhub distributes independent films and shows to streaming channels, and its recent releases target the friction before distribution: captions, artwork checks, asset fixes and clearer payment schedules. October brought renamed plans and a cheaper option funded by internal tooling. Releases come every few weeks and focus on producer workflow.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release attacks a reason titles fail QC or stall: artwork analysis in August, asset adjustment services and a lower-cost plan in October, broader caption formats in November. Filmhub says this tooling lowers its operating costs, and it is passing part of that on as pricing. The direction is a more self-serve, faster path from upload to channel.
◆ Prediction
Expect more automated pre-submission checks for other asset types, following the artwork and caption pattern. How far Filmhub will cut prices further is unclear from the entries.
