How Blinx works

1Enter a URL or upload a screenshot. Test any public page, an image of a page behind a login, or a Figma frame exported as a PNG.

2Choose a synthetic persona. Pick the target audience whose perspective you want to see your interface through.

3Blinx runs the audit. The persona navigates your interface and thinks aloud, just like a moderated usability session.

4Get your video and report. A narrated walkthrough plus a heuristic findings report grounded in the Nielsen Norman usability heuristics, in minutes.

Frequently asked questions

What is Blinx?<br>Blinx is an AI UX research tool that sends synthetic personas through your website or screenshot and returns a narrated video walkthrough plus a heuristic findings report, grounded in the Nielsen Norman usability heuristics, in minutes.

How does AI UX testing work?<br>You give Blinx a URL or a screenshot and choose a persona. Blinx generates a synthetic user, drives it through your interface while it narrates its experience aloud, then compiles the friction points into a heuristic findings report.

Is Blinx a replacement for real user research?<br>No. Blinx complements real research. It is a fast, low-cost first pass that surfaces obvious heuristic and usability issues before you invest in studies with real users. It does not capture genuine human emotion, lived accessibility experience, or true task success.

Can I test Figma designs?<br>Yes. Export a Figma frame or prototype screen as an image (PNG) and upload it. Blinx runs a synthetic persona over the design and returns UX feedback before you build, which is useful for catching issues early in the design phase.

What are the Nielsen Norman heuristics?<br>They are 10 widely used usability principles created by Jakob Nielsen, such as visibility of system status, match between the system and the real world, consistency, and error prevention. Blinx structures its findings around them.

How much does Blinx cost?<br>$19 per run for a single audit (video plus report), or $39 per month for the Pro plan, which includes 5 runs and removes the watermark.

Can Blinx test pages behind a login?<br>For live URLs, Blinx tests publicly reachable pages. To evaluate a page behind a login, take a screenshot of it and upload that, and Blinx will analyze the screenshot.

How accurate is AI-generated UX feedback?<br>It is directionally strong for catching common, well-established usability problems such as cluttered hierarchy, unclear calls to action, cognitive overload, and heuristic violations. It is not a substitute for testing with real users on nuanced, task-specific, or emotional questions. Think of it as a fast expert heuristic review.
