# Zentrik + Alloy

Prototype from a **real screen**, not a blank prompt. Zentrik supplies the structured “what should change” story from your initiative; Alloy’s extension captures the page you want to evolve.

## Overview

Use **Alloy** when you have a live UI to iterate on. Zentrik generates instructions from initiative context; Alloy’s **browser extension** captures the page so edits stay grounded in the existing interface.

Finish in **Generate prototype** on the initiative, then capture and continue in Alloy. Save URLs back on the initiative when you want a durable link in the asset library.

## How to run it

1. From **Assets** → **Create prototype**, choose **Alloy** in **Generate prototype** and complete the in-modal generation step.
2. Open Alloy’s **browser extension** and capture the page that should be the baseline.
3. Continue in Alloy with that capture plus the instructions Zentrik prepared.
4. Use **Save external prototype** when you have a URL worth pinning next to other initiative assets.

## Why the extension matters

Without a capture, Alloy misses the DOM context that makes iterative edits meaningful. Install the extension on a **supported browser**, use **staging** when production capture is not allowed, and sign in to the target site in the same browser session when needed.

## Security & admin

No Alloy API key lives in Zentrik for this path—only generated text and links you choose to save. Extension use should follow your org’s policy on recording internal or customer-facing UIs.

## Troubleshooting

### Extension or capture problems

Try a **staging** URL, clear conflicting extensions, or sign in first. For Alloy-specific errors, see **Alloy’s help or support**.

### Prompt from Zentrik looks wrong

Improve initiative context and **regenerate** in Zentrik. [Contact us](https://zentrik.ai/contact) if the generator in Zentrik errors.
