Velocity
On-demand feedback for Figma prototypes
FreeDesign2,374 impressions#11 of its week
On-demand usability feedback is putting a stop to wasted human time by encouraging designers to first review with AI simulations. We are a team of ex-agency owners whose teams had a hand in building big mobile Apps for companies like Meetup, Soundcloud, Mubi, Glovo. We, like many design, engineering and Product teams, were often in a position where evidence was weak and feedback was impossible to access, but we were still under pressure to deliver! Limited time, budgets and firewalls meant waiting weeks to iterate. Now, in seconds, on-demand, you can challenge an AI on your app's designs just like in user testing sessions. Ask questions, then witness a simulation trying to 'use' connected images of your current or future app.
We are first launching as a Figma plugin to provide designers with 24/7 on-demand UX feedback. We offer the earliest validation BEFORE code and BEFORE asking real humans.
Features:
- Challenge AI simulations on Figma interactive prototypes before users and stakeholders
- Review UX/UI accessibility
- Then… source human feedback <1min
- In-app responses & heat/click maps
Velocity is a Figma plugin that provides AI-generated usability feedback, heat-maps and accessibility reviews for interactive prototypes.
- for
- UX/UI designers and product teams using Figma who need early usability validation.

Key features
6 features of Velocity
- AI prompt testing — Run AI-simulated user tests on interactive Figma prototypes before involving real users.
- Heat-map & click reports — Generate visual heat-maps and click data to see where users focus and miss-click.
- UX metric reports — Get success rate, time-on-task, drop-off and miss-click metrics for each simulation.
- WCAG accessibility review — Automated checks for accessibility compliance against WCAG standards.
- Human feedback integration — After AI simulations, request and collect human feedback within the plugin.
- Conversational insights — Chat with the AI to learn why simulations behaved a certain way.
Use cases
- Validate navigation flow of a new mobile app screen in seconds
- Identify accessibility issues early in a web dashboard prototype
- Gather quick stakeholder feedback on a redesign without recruiting users
- Compare multiple design variants using AI-generated success metrics

- Velocity vs Framer: Framer focuses on visual website design and publishing, not AI-simulated UX testing within Figma.
- Velocity vs Penpot: Penpot is an open-source design and prototyping tool, lacking AI-driven usability simulations.
- Velocity vs Miro: Miro provides collaborative whiteboarding, not automated prototype usability analysis.
- Velocity vs Argos: Argos offers visual regression testing for code, not AI-based user testing of design prototypes.
Velocity FAQ
Does Velocity replace real user testing?+
No, it provides AI simulations as a first benchmark and can complement unlimited self-sourced human tests.
Can I test multiple user paths?+
The AI works best on single-path tasks; complex flows with many routes may not reflect all behaviors yet.
Is the plugin free?+
Yes, Velocity is released under the Community Free Resource License.
How are accessibility checks performed?+
Velocity runs automated WCAG reviews on the prototype and reports any issues.
What kind of human feedback does it support?+
You can source your own testers and collect their feedback directly within the plugin in under a minute.
