Launched this week
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

WCAG Reviews
Report success rate, time-on-task, miss-clicks, drop off
...all native within Figma
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. :)
Triforce Todos
I like the idea of testing right inside Figma; it feels like such a practical way to spot issues early without jumping through hoops. The heatmaps, WCAG checks, and quick human testing all in one place? That’s a solid combo.
The way you have blended fast feedback with detailed reports appears to be a significant step up for product teams that often lack substantial testing budgets.
Velocity
@abod_rehman Yes, it's no replacement but it's better than nothing. I hope that everyone will at least give Velocity a shot before they consider their design fit for human presentation. I think largely the functionality that we are creating at, will be defacto in a few short years. The earliest to use is will have unfair advantage.
Velocity
@abod_rehman Thank you! Making early testing more accessible without adding friction is exactly what we were aiming for. As a designer, I know how often things slip through when time or budget are tight, so building something that gives fast, visual feedback and depth was super important to us. Really appreciate the thoughtful words 🙏
Velocity
@abod_rehman 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.
While it is not a full replacement machines and ai becomes more reliable and faster than human. During the time human gets familiar with the design, our plugin can already run a 100 independent sims for a big confidence of results. Thats the biggest strength of our plugin.
Velocity
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.
