Most products fail. Not because they’re bad, but because no one asked users. Jo makes it super simple to get fast, real feedback before you ship. Just share a link. Jo does the rest.
I'm Rags, co-founder of Jo, and we're launching something today that's we hope helps every builder in this community! 🚀
😅 The Problem
We build products to solve people problems.
But getting user feedback kinda sucks:
🔍 Hunt for the right users
📅 Play calendar tetris for days
🎯 Hope you ask the right questions
📝 Drown in interview notes
🤯 Finally extract some insights (maybe)
Reality? We skip it entirely and ship with crossed fingers! 🤞
Been there. Built that. Didn’t make any money to get the t-shirt.
✨ Meet Jo: Your AI Research Buddy
Jo is like having a super-smart research partner who never sleeps (and doesn't need coffee ☕).
Just share what you're building - could be a Figma prototype, website, or something you’ve vibe coded - and Jo takes it from there:
🤖 Chats with users (while you sleep - but do you really)
🎯 Asks the perfect follow-up questions
🧠 Turns conversations into crystal-clear insights
⚡ Tells you exactly what to fix
No more scheduling headaches. No more recruitment hassles.
Just pure, actionable feedback from real users.
🌟 Why This Matters
The best builders move fast AND smart. Jo helps you do both by getting you real user feedback without slowing down your momentum.
Whether you're a founder pulling all-nighters 😴, a designer iterating on prototypes 🎨, or an indie hacker building in public 👨💻 - we built Jo to fit right into your flow.

🧪 Go Give Some Feedback
We’re creating Jo feedback links for every product launching today on PH.
This is a really great product. I’m curious—does JO actually use and test the product directly, or does it only explore the website and provide feedback based on that?
@kay_arkain Great question! Right now, we explore the site, but we do have some exciting updates coming soon that will enable Jo to get deeper understanding. Testing is one of them.
@kay_arkain Thanks for the question! I'd like to clarify something (if that wasn't clear) - Jo isn't the one giving feedback on the site today. What Jo's doing is using its understanding to conduct interviews with real users and get their feedback and analysis on it. As Prashant said below, we are working on some exciting ways for Jo to actually do a lot more - that's for a future launch :)
@laura_cruickshanks Hi Laura - that's the most useful kind of feedback - thanks for taking the time to try out Jo and note your observations. Happy to find a way to reach out to you and dig into your feedback so I can also evaluate what we may need to rethink/fix based on that?
@maomorales Thanks so much for your support, Mauricio! We're really lucky to have builders like you as early users and your feedback as the product evolved has been critical to making the experience seamless and easy.
@abid_ali43 Key question. Right now, there are 2 ways to find people to give feedback. You can share the Jo link with people you know/want to get feedback from (many builders do this - for eg share in WA groups). The other way is to just make your Jo link public which lists it on our website and is visible to people interested in giving feedback on products they find interesting.
As for the 'right people' - we're taking a different perspective and focus on 'meaningful feedback'. This is what we hear matters most to users at the early iteration/prototype phase over finding a type of user.
How do we do this today? You control the Objectives of every research study. We use this to inform the interviews Jo conducts. But then, we check every interview to make sure the feedback is able to 'meaningfully' answer your objectives - these are the only ones that you actually see (and are charged credits for).
We are thinking about scenarios where we can enable you to select types of people for feedback, but there is a certain amount of scale we need to get to before we can do that. Hence, the choices we made as an early stage product that we can deliver an amazing experience with.
Hope that was a helpful answer, though a bit long!
You can see the objectives, sentiment, insights/feature requests, individual feedback summaries and also the entire conversation transcript at the link above. Hope this is useful, and would love for you to go and create some of your own!
@shenjun You need it - you got it ;-) Free to start and Free to keep using for upto 5 responses every week. Enough to start getting regular feedback on things you are building early stage. Hope you check it out!
Exactly the stage I’m in right now—trying to gather feedback without losing momentum or drowning in logistics. This sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for. Definitely giving Jo a try—appreciate how smoothly it fits into the builder workflow. Congrats on the launch!
@parth_ahir Thanks Parth! We have indeed built this for builders like you - keen to see how you find it. We hope it helps you get feedback you can action on an keep your momentum going.
Jo feels like the missing puzzle piece for lean teams. How are you making sure the AI doesn’t lead interviews into generic territory? Curious about how it keeps feedback relevant and nuanced.
@shreyans_assistiv Great question. We do go to some lengths to set the contexts and goals for the AI to ensure a professional interview like a researcher. That said, we are just getting started, and there are tons of things that can be improved which we are working on as we speak.
@shreyans_assistiv Great question, Shreyans. Just to add to Prashant's comment - we've spent a lot of time tuning the interviewer to keep the conversation unbiased, relevant and use best practices of user research.
But, what we can't control is the user responses. So we have an additional layer of evaluation post-interview where we have a 'meaningfulness' bar that the interview has to meet. This includes, but is not limited to, actually getting you useful and meaningful feedback for the objectives you have set. These are the only responses that we deliver back to you.
You folks are incredible! The launch went so well yesterday that we actually crashed part of our application under the load (see screenshot 😂). Some of you may have seen some issues while we were fixing it - sorry for the hangs. Definitely a very PH problem to have, and we're scaling things up.
Thanks again for giving Jo such an enthusiastic welcome—more RAM coming up!
This is awesome. I'd like to know how to explain the main goal of one user research to Jo, I'm also curious about the kinds of questions Jo will ask participants during the interviews.
@ying_li6 Hi Candy! Sorry missed this comment and didn't reply sooner.
When you create , there is a set of research objectives that you can edit - this is the simple way in which you are able to instruct Jo on what you're looking for when users talk with Jo. Jo will follow your instructions on what to focus on.
As for the second question - you can easily chat with Jo yourself to get a sense for what questions are being asked. Or simpler - check out this dashboard of real user responses - the entire transcripts are available and you can quickly get a sense for what Jo has asked participants - https://jo.floto.ai/share/7cb451b1-4bc4-42db-aaa2-5ffa972b44b9
Hope this helps - and I hope you can try out Jo. It's free and easy!
@ragsontherocks I really appreciate your thorough response. BTW, it would be great to add a quick access link for the dashboard on the result panel like "Preview". I could not find the dashboard when I first tried out Jo.

Find something you love and leave some feedback for the maker, Jo will do the rest.
Let’s build something great - together with our users ❤️
That’s such a needed solution. Getting honest, fast feedback before launch can save so much time (and heartache). Love how effortless Jo makes it!
Jo
@supa_l Love that you love it - thanks for your support! I hope you do get to try Jo on something you're building and any feedback would be gold.

@esqrama Thanks Rama - your early feedback and advice really helped shape the evolution of Jo!
how does Jo find the right people to give feedback?

Spryngtime Chat - A free chat widget
Awesome! Always of fan of making it easier to talk to users (and for users to give feedback)!
Jo
@azianmike Yes! And we are all better served as builders for it! Thanks for taking the time to check out Jo and comment.
Jo
@replibee Thank you ! Do let us know how it goes.
@ragsontherocks Can you share some screenshots / where can I find the output of the feedback given by users? Love the idea and execution!
Jo
@aaron_miller9 Hi Aaron, here is a dashboard - https://jo.floto.ai/share/7cb451b1-4bc4-42db-aaa2-5ffa972b44b9. If you create a Jo, we have the option to publicly share a read-only version of the output with your team or collaborators for eg, or as answers to questions like these :)
You can see the objectives, sentiment, insights/feature requests, individual feedback summaries and also the entire conversation transcript at the link above. Hope this is useful, and would love for you to go and create some of your own!
Simplifies user research massively! I need this 😄
