After building a platform in one week, the hardest part is understanding what users need. Here’s how I used synthetic user research to identify critical flaws before wasting real users time.
This is a brilliant example of using AI to save time and focus real user research on what truly matters. Synthetic users catch the obvious UX gaps, and real users reveal the emotional and cultural nuances, best of both worlds!

Oh this is awesome! I was exploring how to use AI more for user research and validation this week, but more for helping with planning questions, analysing data etc. This was so interesting and sparked some ideas. I’m going to try it out on a few projects, will let you know how it goes! Thanks for sharing.
It’s just 8 in the morning and it is really good stuff! Thanks for sharing this advice, Elena. This is a perfect example of put the AI do the AI work for you and not trying the human work. If something is not obvious for a collection of human knowledge then it’s clear you should do something, which is different to User testing with AI which is not an user
Thanks, Antonio! You've made my day. I try to post early in the morning so our friends can apply some tips when they get to work. :)
It's true, AI can mitigate some of this burden before it reaches actual users, as it is capable of recognizing patterns and behaviors to a certain extent.
Love the detail and insights thanks for the citation 🙏🏻
