Velocity: AI User testing
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 budget and no access to 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

Feedback please! We are reviewing the comments
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.
PH Offer
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. :)

Velocity: AI User testing
@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.
Velocity: AI User testing
@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.

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 💛
Velocity: AI User testing
@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!
Velocity: AI 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.

@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.
Velocity: AI User testing
@maksym_skrypka Thanks, we really appreciate the kind words and we’d love to hear what you think when you give it a go.

This is a really smart way to streamline early design feedback. Totally get the challenge of limited testing budgets, love how you’re making it easy to get directional insights quickly without slowing down the process. Huge win for product teams. Congrats on the launch!
Velocity: AI User testing
@miked05 Thx Mike, I bet Prompter is encountering many of the challenges we are also facing! Tbh, our most popular prompt on the platform is "asdfasdfasdf"! There's a lot of education to be done on writing great clear prompts to get good answers. Tools like Prompter suggest at ways to tackle this. We're very early days in helping people with simple suggested prompts but I hope we can innovate in that direction soon. Glad you are checking it out and would love to hear your further feedback.
Velocity: AI User testing
@miked05 Thanks so much, Mike! Really appreciate the kind words 🙌 And I love what you’re building with Prompter as it’s super relevant for us actually. One of the biggest blockers we see is users not knowing what to prompt when they’re setting up a test. So what you’ve built feels like a game-changer for that moment. I'm interested to now if you've seen any common prompt patterns emerge from your users?
Velocity: AI User testing
@miked05 Hey, thank you for a comment. As part of development team I would feel bad if this is not clarified - its not only slowing down the process, its completely redefining it and saving huge amounts of time. During the time human gets familiar with the design, our plugin can already run a 100 independent sims for a big confidence of results. After that, there is only a small chance a final reviewer will have any issues to look at. Not to mention report and insights generated on the run.
Hope it will work wonders for you!
Velocity: AI User testing
Really interesting! How do you see Velocity changing the way teams approach prototype testing — especially in the early stages before there's a working product? Could this shift when and how designers validate ideas?
Velocity: AI User testing
@david_chen32 Absolutely we do. I think the presence of quantifiable data in whatever form is going to squeeze best practice in all teams into reality. From the product team side they are all of a sudden always going to have evidence that meets the market and if it's not proven correct in the market, the need to talk to users will be all the clearer! ...In terms of shifting... short term I think tools like Velocity will dramatically improve many niche areas where sourcing the time of actual users was difficult. Many big companies and previously infuriating experiences will have no excuse to remain awful. In the long term I think a lot of levels in the chain of 'Prototyping' are collapsing to allow for far quicker cycles. Imagine Pharma, they of course prototype but the cycles last many years because of the speed of compilation. In future with AI simulations as both critics and users a baseline of standards will be able to reached far sooner than ever before. The hardest thing is learning what to learn, never doing. By doing quickly with an unlimited number of AI user tests many more players will be able to develop prototypes that will be able to surprisingly catch fire and almost barge their way into the market through sheer demand outside of established 'golden sources'.
Velocity: AI User testing
@david_chen32 I totally agree with Kevin, and from the design side, it’s already shifting when I choose to test. Early validation used to feel out of reach unless you had the time, budget, or access to real users. Now I can get feedback within minutes even when the design’s still rough. It’s helped me spot issues I wouldn’t have caught until much later.
It definitely doesn’t replace human testing (and it shouldn’t), but it preps you for it so you go in with way more confidence, better questions, and better designs.
This seems game changing! I have never seen anything like this. Congrats on the launch @marcingrygierek @rachel_long_smith @kevin_mcdonagh1

@lakshya_singh I'm glad we are creating an impression! I hope you'll encourage your designers to use Velocity but also you are free to use it with just screenshots to test any random app! Love Jupitrr AI btw.
Velocity: AI User testing
@lakshya_singh Thanks a million, Lakshya that means a lot! 🙌 Making early design validation way easier is our goal, so hearing that it feels game-changing is huge!
