AI user testing sends an AI agent with a persona and a task through your real website, to see whether a person like that would finish and where they would get stuck. Menso runs the agent in a cloud browser on your live site. It looks at each screen, clicks, types and thinks aloud until it finishes, gets blocked or runs out of steps. You get a replay of every step, with what it was thinking, and a TRACES score out of 100. A Speed test costs 40 credits; new accounts start with 100 free. It predicts likely friction early. It does not replace real users.

Both run the same task on your live site. A Speed test (40 credits) is the quick, low-cost check. A Quality test (300 credits) gives the AI user more time to think at each step. Every run on the Product Hunt board is a Quality test.
Pro: one Speed test ≈ $0.64, one Quality ≈ $4.83 at $29 / 1,800 credits, plus 10 credits (≈ $0.16) of research when you start from just a URL; Free 100 credits = 2 Speed tests, no card.
Every plan and pack is on the pricing page.
Menso puts the top launches from Product Hunt's weekly board through one shared task. Here is one of them; the full board has the rest of its week.
Every run here used Menso's Purchase intent template: the persona Zainab Salazar, a freelance UX consultant, reads the homepage, the pricing page and the FAQ, decides whether she would buy or sign up, and stops before paying. It is a route-specific diagnostic, not a product-wide score.
TRACES 83.5/100
Zainab scrolled the homepage for five steps without finding a pricing link, and at step 6 typed the pricing address herself. At step 8 she reached the Free vs Enterprise table, then read the help centre and the docs FAQ, and at step 16 decided to sign up for the free tier.
T 4 · R 4.5 · A 4 · C 4 · E 4.5 · S 4 (each out of 5)
Review note: The actor never opened the top-right menu, where Pricing sits; this is not a claim that the site has no pricing link.

Use it to find likely friction before real users arrive, and to decide where your research with people should go next.
Not quite. Synthetic research tools ask an AI persona interview questions and read its answers. An AI user test puts the persona in front of your actual product and records what it does. Menso does the second. Both are simulations, and neither replaces talking to your customers. The comparison of AI usability testing tools sets out the difference.
Yes. That is what an AI user test is for: no panel, no scheduling, no incentives. You get a stranger's first pass through your flow in one run. You do not get a real person's motives or stakes, so use the result to decide where to look, then confirm the findings that matter with people.
No. The AI user visits your live site the way a visitor does, in its own browser session. For pages behind a login, give it an email and password on the credentials card. On the web app it signs in with email and password only; Google sign-in on your product works only in the Menso desktop app.
Pro: one Speed test ≈ $0.64, one Quality ≈ $4.83 at $29 / 1,800 credits, plus 10 credits (≈ $0.16) of research when you start from just a URL; Free 100 credits = 2 Speed tests, no card. See pricing for every plan.
On Pro and Studio, you can make a share link for a replay. It opens without signing in, like the Product Hunt board replay on this page. Menso first checks the replay for the logins and secrets you gave it, and makes no link if it finds one or cannot run the check. Studio also writes a full UX report on every run and exports it as a PDF.
