Hi, I lead Product at Velocity, encouraging Designers to always first review with AI simulations to stop wasting human time. Our team are ex-agency owners who built for Meetup, Soundcloud, Mubi & Glovo, etc. Like most Product teams, we often had no testing budgetand no accessto actual users! Now, in seconds, writing prompts you can challenge an AI on your designs just like in user testing sessions. Ask questions, then witness 100s of simulations using your Product with heat-maps of navigation and chat to them about their thinking! Killer AI features + unlimited human testing without ever leaving Figma.
We launch first as a Figma plugin for 24/7 on-demand feedback BEFORE real humans. We're convinced Design is evolving to require basic quantitive confidence with simulations as due diligence. Get the jump on your peers and start using AI user test simulations now.
Features:
Prompt AI user testing on your earliest prototypes & wireframes
Build confidence running 100s of simulations
Chat to test simulations
Heat-maps of AI & human activity
Test with humans <1min

WCAG Reviews
Report success rate, time-on-task, miss-clicks, drop off

Lead Designer Rachel and I Kevin, leading Product will be here all day and we're looking forward to hearing from you. If you'd like us to run any of your deisgns through velocity we'd be happy to do that today. Just mention in the comments.

For Product Hunt we are launching with a special $10 early bird offer which is an absolute steal. I look forward to hearing how we helped saved your humans time!
Always review first with simulations!

@kevin_mcdonagh1 AI simulations before human feedback, all inside Figma is an amazing + unique idea. Big props to Kevin & Rachel, excited to see how designers and product managers use it. :)
@heypaus Thx Paul, there are a number of outcomes. For a Designer who is iterating all the time in Figma you can actually turn on/off the heat-maps on your designs as a separate layer. But also you get top level statues right there in Figma as well. The web reports show you all the paths and are intended to help you reach your product goals.
@heypaus Thanks! As Kevin said, we sure do have heat maps! And as a designer myself, I find them super helpful, such a quick way to spot patterns and pain points. Would love for you to try it out and see for yourself! 🙌
@heypaus Hey, also on top of the reports which Kevin and Rachel presented, you can get a simpler notification via email (this is optional - no need to allow us to send it) when running sims. We are planning some more features in the future that will affect how we present results.
This is amazing. It's revolutionary for designers, greatly improving the efficiency of validating design feasibility. It's also very helpful for designers' communication within the team. Moreover, it's extremely user - friendly for independent developers or those product managers who also serve as designers. For designers, how to better understand the product and users' usage habits has always been a difficult point. I'm glad that you've noticed this scenario and come up with an excellent solution! @Velocity
@nicoleastor Thanks so much for this! 🙌 You’ve totally nailed what we’re trying to solve, making it easier for designers and PMs to validate ideas early and communicate their thinking with the team. We’ve been there too, struggling to get clear direction before involving real users so building Velocity to fill this gap has been a real labour of love. So glad it’s resonating 💛
@nicoleastor Thank you for the kind words Nicole, I'm so glad you see the potential. We'd love to hear about your experiences, see any of your prototypes or reports. I'd even be willing to take part in any of your user testing!
@nicoleastor Thank you for your interest. Please, don't hesitate to contact us directly if you would like to see some changes in the plugin after you test it - we are very open to applying what our users want to see and use.
@taibabosnic Hi Taiba, in 100+ Product team interviews we've conducted since the start of this year we've learned teams want to conduct best practice discovery but real world limitations constantly hold them back. There's a stigma in design that AI only replaces jobs, that's absolutely not what we are about. Instead we believe AI supports designers with new super powers. So we've had to battle against initial first impressions of AI user testing trying to replace humans... also just encouraging a new habit! Changing habits is the hardest thing to do, we want everyone to run a Velocity sense check before any human...
@taibabosnic Thanks so much! From a designer’s perspective, making sure the outcome actually felt valuable. We spent a lot of time figuring out how to present the data in a way that’s clear, actionable, and genuinely helps you make design decisions faster.
@taibabosnic Hey, maybe some insights from engineering site - there was a pretty big challenge making it run smoothly and in the background. We utilised some of the freshest engineering strategies and cloud technologies to make our application analyse and produce results in minutes - it is about 2 times faster than initial propositions.
@gamifykaran Thanks Karan, and thanks for your help last month with Boring Launch was a great initial kicker and I'd recommend your service again to enroll in loads of potentially interested communities asap.
@maksym_skrypka Thank you Maksym, I'd love to hear about how it benefitted you or how it fell short of your expectations whenever you have a chance to try it out.
1 in 4 have some form of sight loss, so Product Hunt teams may be curious to experience their designs through Velocity blurred vision simulations now in open Beta: https://blog.appvelocity.io/blur...
Heads up, we are increasing our pricing next week. Our early bird is coming to an end. Over 1k users have joined before we increased pricing. We won't raise pricing on anyone who got a previous deal. www.appvelocity.io
