Product Discovery for Proto’s AI Clinic Operations OS
Case Study: The Proto
Proto is building an AI-powered operating system for direct-to-patient clinics. Melt Studio supported early product discovery with design, architectural definition, and user story refinement during a July–August 2025 engagement.
THE CHALLENGE
Structuring Stories for an AI Clinic Ops Platform
Proto’s backlog evolved quickly, with many user stories created on demand. The team wanted stronger architecture direction and sharper story refinement to keep delivery moving and align with stakeholders across a local-time cadence.

Hi guys, I was reviewing the full Terik and Tess flow — first off, thanks for the effort to get everything done by EOY, really appreciated and very exsitng to see it live.
Overall, the flow makes total sense. We’ll likely need to come up with a new “recipe” for it, and there are a few UI tweaks and small functional changes we should work through.
