Velocity introduces a game-changing design concept: 100% ‘pre-human’ confidence. ‘Pre-human’ confidence is all about front-loading quality. We’re setting a new bar: elevating design quality before it reaches human eyes. Designers can generate in-depth, quantitative reports on user test effectiveness, by assigning 100 simultaneous AI user simulations with a challenge in the form of a well formed, descriptive prompt. 

“100 simulations?! Isn’t that a bit… excessive?” In the past, yes, it might have been. But with the incredible evolution of AI technology, the standards of diligence are rapidly increasing. Running 100 AI simulations on any prototype isn’t just a good idea, it’s becoming the mandatory baseline for ensuring your designs are worthy of human time.

100 smothers doubt with quantity but more than that, 100 is a special number. Regardless to what degree of mathematical education you received, you can likely conceive many complex comparisons in the form of a percentage. Percentages are everywhere in our daily lives, giving us a clear, digestible understanding of complex data. The result of 100 simulations is never vague, instead it always yields a meaningful quantifiable result. A reports is going to look something like this:

Reports sharing outcomes of 100 share meaningful comparisons yielding clues how to proceed. At a glance, anyone can deduce if a design is living up to requirements of success rate, time-on-task and miss-clicks. In the case of the above it’s pretty clear theres a bottle neck on one screen with a high drop off concentrated only there. It’s like having access to your graded results while in an exam. The good news is only you know the current results and you have the opportunity to change at will before you share with your parents. Why waste a human’s time trying to figure out an unclear flow when an AI can highlight it in seconds?

Can your assumption take 100 pokes?

We are constantly surprised at what simulations uncover. It’s actually quite fun to see what might be uncovered by throwing a load of simulations at any task. Theres a genuine curiosity if you’ll be able to constrain the effect of your challenge to a specific area of interface. Simulations might meet your expectations, or challenge your over confidence. Whether sense checking or living up to anyone else’s expectations, 100 Simulations are the new product design baseline.
