What is Filmhub?
Filmhub is automating distribution prep and passing the savings to producers as a cheaper plan.
Filmhub launched a lower-cost plan in October, tied to internal tools that make asset preparation faster and cheaper, and has since rebuilt the payment schedule page around each producer's own channels. Earlier releases added automated artwork QC checks and a rebuilt video player.
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.
Filmhub vs ProtoPie: editorial side-by-side
Filmhub
5.0DESIGN
Filmhub is automating distribution prep and passing the savings to producers as a cheaper plan.
◆ Current state
Filmhub launched a lower-cost plan in October, tied to internal tools that make asset preparation faster and cheaper, and has since rebuilt the payment schedule page around each producer's own channels. Earlier releases added automated artwork QC checks and a rebuilt video player.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is automation of the distribution pipeline (artwork checks, captions, asset prep) turning into lower prices and fewer QC rejections. Producer-facing transparency on payments and releases is the other steady thread.
◆ Prediction
Expect more automated QC checks for submissions beyond artwork, since the artwork tool and cheaper plan both rely on that automation.
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.
