What is an MVP?
At Humanity Innovation Labs, we offer a focused 6-week MVP app development program that turns your product concept into a functional, user-tested demo application in a fast and affordable way. This approach integrates generative research, UX/UI design, and real-world testing to deliver a streamlined process that accelerates the development cycle.
Our MVP, or prototype, serves as an interactive simulation of your product, bringing core features and design elements to life. Think of it as a test drive—allowing users to engage, navigate, and provide valuable feedback, helping you refine your idea before committing to full-scale development.
To ensure a seamless and efficient process, we partner with Bobcats Coding, who will focus primarily on the development phase. Their expertise will ensure a high-quality, cost-effective outcome while significantly reducing development time, helping you achieve product-market fit quickly.

WHAT TYPE OF SERVICES ARE INCLUDED?
01
GENERATIVE RESEARCH
We start by conducting in-depth user research to uncover critical insights, including user needs, behaviors, and pain points. This foundational research guides our design and development decisions, ensuring your app aligns with real-world needs and emerging technologies.
02
UX/UI DESIGN
We create custom wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity designs that bring your product vision to life. Our design process prioritizes an intuitive, engaging user experience, ensuring that your app is both functional and aesthetically compelling.
03
NO-CODE/LOW-CODE MVP DEVELOPMENT
Using leading no-code platforms like Webflow, Bubble, or Glide, we rapidly build your MVP, ensuring it’s fully functional and ready for real-world testing. This approach significantly reduces development time and costs, giving you a fast and affordable path to market.
04
USER TESTING + FEEDBACK LOOP
We conduct pilot testing with a targeted group of users to gather insights, identify areas for improvement, and refine the MVP. This feedback loop ensures your app’s functionality is optimized before launch.
THE 6-WEEK JOURNEY
1 PROBLEM DEFINITION DAY 1
A fast-paced, collaborative workshop inspired by the Design Sprint methodology, designed to align the project vision, problem definition, and ideate solutions. The goal is to rapidly create, define, align and generate ideas that can be used to test critical ideas and set the foundation for future development.
-
Problem definition is crucial for a low-code/no-code MVP because it ensures the solution addresses real user needs, guiding development toward essential features while avoiding unnecessary complexity and wasted resources.
-
Generate, develop and refine ideas into a concept.
-
Develop rough wireframes to visualize core functionality and confirm the direction.
-
Define core features and functionality for the first iteration, assess feasibility and dependencies with the development and design teams, and distinguish between must-have and nice-to-have features for the next phase.
-
All artifacts, design systems, brand guidelines, and design assets.
The workshop’s output will be a concept and initial wireframes, setting the stage for the design solution.
2 UX/UI DESIGN 2 WEEKS
-
We start by conducting quantitative or qualitative user research to uncover critical insights, including user needs, behaviors, and pain points.
Day 1: Stakeholder Recruiting and Discussion Guides
Day 2: Conduct 1-3 Interviews or 1-5 Surveys
Day 3: Analyze Results
This foundational research guides our design and development decisions, ensuring your app aligns with real-world needs and emerging technologies.
-
Define the key features and functionality for the first iteration, identifying must-haves versus nice-to-haves to ensure focus on core needs.
-
Present initial designs to stakeholders for feedback and make adjustments based on insights, refining the design as needed for the next phase of development.
-
Collaborate with the development and design teams to assess technical feasibility and dependencies, ensuring the design aligns with user experience goals and practical constraints.
-
The design team incorporates feedback from the review to finalize the UI designs, ensuring all components are aligned with the technical requirements and project goals.
We create custom wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity UI designs that bring your product vision to life based on the outputs from the generative research. These designs include the visual look and feel and initial layouts for key user flows.
Our design process prioritizes an intuitive, engaging user experience, ensuring that your app is both functional and aesthetically compelling.
3 DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING 4 WEEKS
The development team builds the product, implementing the final designs while conducting iterative testing to ensure quality and alignment with the agreed-upon scope.
-
Development may proceed in sprints, with regular check-ins for feedback.

Customer Service Automation Tool: A chatbot MVP that automates responses for a limited set of common customer queries (e.g., FAQs or troubleshooting simple issues) and escalates unresolved cases by creating task cards in Trello or Zendesk for manual follow-up. The chatbot integrates with a basic CRM to pull customer data for context, and real-time notifications are sent to agents when escalation is required.
Smart Training and Support Platform: An app MVP with one tailored training module that adjusts based on user quiz results or progress tracking. Includes one AR tutorial for a specific, predefined task and basic integration with an ERP system to update task statuses. Real-time troubleshooting is facilitated via a simple feedback loop allowing workers to flag issues, which are logged for manual review.
Predictive Maintenance Dashboard: A dashboard MVP that monitors IoT sensor data for one type of equipment, providing anomaly alerts based on predefined thresholds. Includes a single visual dashboard for tracking equipment health, basic predictive scheduling for maintenance, and automated email notifications to the maintenance team for immediate follow-up.
