Prototype Testing Tools Make Validation Harder Than It Should Be
Traditional prototype testing software creates friction at every step. You schedule costly moderated sessions over Zoom that take weeks to coordinate and hours to run, limiting how many users you can test with before deadlines force you to ship. Participants navigate artificial facilitated environments that don't reflect real-world usage, skewing results toward superficial feedback. Manual analysis requires watching hours of recordings to extract insights, making teams anxious about missing critical UX issues buried in lengthy videos. Your prototype testing data also lives isolated from other research, preventing you from seeing patterns across prototypes, surveys, and user interviews that would inform better design decisions.
TheySaid eliminates prototype usability testing friction while amplifying insights.
Rather than struggling with scheduling, Zoom calls, and fragmented data, you get prototype user testing that works seamlessly for real users while automatically revealing what needs fixing. This approach delivers authentic design validation while eliminating the complexity that slows down product teams.

How TheySaid Enables Prototype Testing Success
Test Figma Prototypes With Real Users
Share your Figma prototype URL and watch users navigate your designs while AI records their screen and asks follow-ups about confusion. No scheduling, no lab setup, just real people interacting with your interactive prototype testing designs.
Capture User Reactions Through Voice Commentary
Hear users explain their thinking as they click through prototypes. AI asks probing questions that reveal whether navigation makes sense, if labels are clear, and what features they expect but don't see.
Identify Design Issues Before Engineering Starts
Spot confusing workflows, unclear copy, and missing functionality while designs are still easy to change. Prototype validation testing catches problems when fixes cost minutes, not sprints.
Get Insights in Days, Not Weeks
Launch prototype feedback testing sessions in minutes and start seeing user reactions the same day. AI analyzes sessions automatically, highlighting patterns across users without manual video review.
Recruit Your Own Real Users, Not Professional Testers
Share a link via email, website popup, QR code, or social media and recruit the users who actually represent your target audience. No panel required, no coordination overhead, just real people who reflect how your product will actually be used.
No Downloads, No Barriers to Participation
TheySaid's recording technology runs entirely in the browser. Participants click a link and start immediately, which means you can recruit your actual customers without asking them to install anything or jump through technical hoops.
See Exactly Where Your Design Confuses Users
Stop guessing why stakeholders question your designs. Watch real users interact with prototypes and hear them explain exactly what doesn't make sense.

Video Playback With Question Timestamps
Jump directly to specific design screens or questions in user sessions. Review critical moments without watching entire recordings.
Real User Recruitment
Test prototypes with your target audience through email, website embeds, or TheySaid's panels. Get feedback from people who match your actual user demographics.
Traditional Prototype Testing vs. AI-Powered Validation
Without TheySaid
Weeks of Scheduling Delays
Coordinating moderated prototype testing sessions requires booking lab time, recruiting participants, and aligning stakeholder schedules, delaying design validation when sprint timelines are tight.
Artificial Lab Testing Environments
Users interact with prototypes in unfamiliar lab settings that don't reflect real-world usage, producing feedback that misses how people would actually use your product.
Hours of Manual Analysis
Extracting insights from prototype testing videos requires watching every recording to identify patterns, making teams worry about overlooking critical UX issues.
Limited Sample Sizes
Budget and time constraints restrict prototype testing to 5-8 users, leaving teams uncertain whether designs work for their full target audience.
Isolated Feedback Data
Prototype testing results sit separate from surveys, interviews, and analytics, preventing comprehensive understanding of user needs across research methods.
With TheySaid

FAQs
What types of prototypes can you test with TheySaid?
You can test Figma prototypes and any web-accessible clickable prototype. Paste the prototype URL and users navigate through it while their interactions are recorded.
How does screen recording work during prototype testing?
Users grant permission for screen recording when starting their session. The platform captures their screen activity and voice commentary as they navigate through your prototype, creating complete documentation of their testing experience.
How many users should test your prototype?
Most teams identify critical usability issues after 15-20 testing sessions. Testing with multiple users provides confidence that patterns are real problems rather than individual preferences, which is difficult with traditional 5-8 person studies.
Can you test specific user flows in prototypes?
Yes. Create testing scenarios focused on critical workflows like onboarding, feature discovery, or checkout. AI guides users through designated task flows while recording their interactions and reactions.
How quickly do you receive insights from prototype testing?
Initial insights appear as sessions complete, with video recordings immediately available for review. AI analysis highlighting patterns across sessions is available within hours rather than weeks.
What happens if prototype testing reveals design problems?
Video recordings with timestamps show exactly where users get confused. Designers can quickly identify issues, iterate on designs, and retest before development starts.
Do you need a working product to use prototype testing?
No. Test early-stage Figma prototypes, lo-fi wireframes, or high-fidelity mockups. The earlier you test, the cheaper it is to make changes based on feedback.
How do you recruit participants for prototype testing?
Share test links via email to beta lists, embed on your website for existing users, post on social media, or recruit from TheySaid's panels to reach specific demographics.
TheySaid User testing recommends questions, delivers via your existing channels, engages your audience,and summarizes results through AI user testing, surveys, and interviews.
