Launching today
Prompt Figma prototypes then test with humans

AI Prompt designs in Figma to uncover early issues. Justify design choices with data-rich stakeholder reports, then promote unlimited, heat-mapped human user tests. Validate earlier, raise standards, and stop wasting human time.
Velocity
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!
I love it! How does the outcome look like? Is it like a heat map?
Velocity
@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.
Velocity
@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! 🙌
@rachel_long_smith Love it! I will try it out for sure :)
Velocity
@heypaus Amazing, let us know how you get on.
Velocity
@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.

@taibabosnic Hi Taiba, we've conducted 100+ Product team interviews since the start of this year and we've learned that teams want to conduct best practice discovery but real world limitations are what constantly hold them back. At the moment 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, then also just encouraging a new habit! Changing habits is the hardest thing to do, we want everyone to run Velocity as a sense check before any human ever reviews a design but it's a big ask...
Velocity
@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.
