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.
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
Password protect tests

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!
This is such a smart solution to a problem every product team faces! I like how you've made early design validation accessible right within Figma - that's where it could be most helpful.
The AI simulation approach is really innovative, and I can see how this would help teams catch issues before they even reach human testing. The heat-maps and reporting features look incredibly useful for building confidence in design decisions and communicating with stakeholders.
I'm would like to try this out on some of my current projects. Thanks for building something that actually addresses the real workflow challenges designers face daily. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!
Really impressive! Bringing AI simulations into Figma feels like a game-changer for early-stage design feedback. Congrats team! @kevin_mcdonagh1
“Velocity AI super impressed by how it brings real‑user testing directly into prototypes it feels like a game changer for early feedback.
This strikes such a chord, so much time gets wasted guessing what stakeholders might push back on later. Having prompt-driven Figma flows with actual user heatmaps and data-backed reports? That's a serious shift in raising design accountability early on.
This would glow on Xiaohongshu — it’s like a visual dev blog meets niche TikTok.
I built Redverse to make sending stuff there as easy as hitting a button.
Velocity's ability to conduct AI user testing on early prototypes and provide heat - maps of activity is a great help for designers to identify issues early! For designers who want to integrate their own custom AI models or testing criteria into Velocity, does Velocity support custom integrations?

Data-rich stakeholder reports and unlimited human user tests—exactly what teams need to raise the bar in product design
Great job on the launch! The challenges of keeping projects on track and teams aligned are real, so tools like Velocity are always welcome. Would love to hear more about how your platform stands out from others in this field.
Sorry for any drop availability! It wouldn't be a real startup launch without a little falling over.
Nice work, I can see this being useful for contractors, something to back up your design decisions as an outsider to a team..
Congratulations Rachel and Kevin! Such a great idea ✨🚀
Best of luck!
Love this idea! If developers are able to test their code before they ship, then designers should be able to test their designs before they hand it off to the next step.
@kevin_mcdonagh1 this is awesome work. thanks for building this. Really happy to have a way to build test products with @Velocity to test some examples and tease out my thinking. Feels low friction. Thanks!
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?
I love that it’s native in Figma! Any plans for Sketch, Adobe XD, or standalone web usage down the line?
Velocity looks like a super useful bridge between design and validation. Love the idea of heatmapped user tests right from AI-prompted Figma prototypes — that’s a powerful loop for fast, informed iteration. Congrats on the launch 🚀
