Frequently asked questions
How do I test my app before launching?
Run the AI User Panel: three AI users sign up with disposable accounts, walk the flow you describe, and hand back a screenshot of every step plus the exact point they gave up. It runs in about 15 minutes for $29 one-time, with free reruns for 30 days so you can fix and re-test.
How can I get feedback on my SaaS or landing page?
Start with a Free Roast: three AI personas review your landing page and return a score and the top issues in about 90 seconds, no account needed. When you want them to actually sign up and walk your core flow, the AI User Panel goes deeper for $29.
How do I validate my startup idea fast?
The Free Roast gives you an instant score, and the AI User Panel is an idea-validation instrument: ten personas, including a price-sensitive student and a skeptical SaaS buyer, tell you whether anyone would sign up and pay before you spend a launch on it.
How do I get my first users for my indie app?
Community Testing is the honest answer: test two indie apps, earn credits, and real developers test yours back and become your first users. Every public report also brings visibility and a backlink. The panel finds the problems that lose users; it is not a distribution channel.
Can AI test my website or onboarding?
Yes. The AI User Panel opens your app in a real browser, signs up, and attempts your onboarding the way a new user would, then shows you each step with the friction quoted. It is the fastest way to see your onboarding through fresh eyes.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?
A chatbot reads the copy you paste it and tells you the positioning is strong. It never opens your app, never fills in your signup form, and has every incentive to agree with you. A panel opens your app in a real browser, signs up, attempts your core flow, and comes back with the step where it broke and a screenshot of it. Ten personas who want different things, so they argue with each other instead of flattering you.
Is this real user testing?
No, and we never pretend otherwise. Every persona is AI and is labeled simulated everywhere it appears. What you get is the part real user testing gives you that a chatbot cannot: someone who is not you, opening your app cold, failing at it, and leaving a screenshot of the moment they gave up. Not real users. Better than no users, cheaper than five UserTesting sessions, harsher than your friends. When you want actual humans, that is what Community Testing (free, credit-based) and the Pro Review ($99, hands-on by Alex) are for.
What do I get in the report?
A panel score, a screenshot of every step each AI user took, the exact step they abandoned and the reason they gave, and a fix list ranked critical, major or minor. Seven more personas cover positioning, pricing and trust. A Free Roast is the short version: the score, the issues three cold visitors hit, and a scorecard you can share.
What do the AI users actually do on my site?
They open your app in a real browser, sign up with disposable accounts, and attempt the flow you describe. Hard limits: they never leave your domain, never touch payment forms, never perform destructive actions, and test accounts use our own email addresses.
My signup uses Google login or a CAPTCHA.
Our pre-flight check detects this before you pay and asks you for a test account instead. Credentials are encrypted, used once per run, and deletable anytime.
What if the agents get blocked anyway?
If none of the three AI users can even start your flow, the run is marked blocked and never costs you a run: the slot goes straight back on your pass, and if it was the first run on that pass we refund the purchase automatically. If at least one gets through, the run stands, and the blockers they hit are themselves findings.
Is my report public?
Free roasts are public by default (you can opt out). Paid panels are private by default with one-click sharing.
How do community credits work?
Testing someone's app earns 1 credit, +1 if they mark your feedback helpful. Submitting yours costs 2. Credits cannot be bought.
Is my app confidential?
Paid panels are private by default and only you can see them until you choose to share. Test credentials are encrypted, used once per run, and deletable anytime, and verification emails we receive are retained for at most one hour.
