Using synthetic testers for user research
TheySaid is an AI-based user research platform. The focus of its 4.0 version is the “synthetic testers”: even while you are still in the prototype development phase, you can use a group of virtual users trained to reflect the characteristics of your target audience to test your product. These virtual users can help you identify potential issues and provide feedback on how they perceive your product, eliminating the need to wait for real-users to participate in the testing process.
Its original questionnaire, AI interviews, form submission, and voting features are all still available. The AI can conduct interviews on your behalf, supporting both voice conversations and more than 70 different languages. After the interviews are completed, automated analysis reports and compilation of key highlights will be generated. In addition, real users can be found through pop-up notifications on the website or through dedicated recruitment interfaces.
This is suitable for product managers, user researchers, and teams focused on growth strategies. The feedback generated by synthetic users can only serve as a preliminary reference; formal decisions should still be based on real-user testing results. There is also a free version available to get started.
