FigmaRider & SerialLaunch
So, ever wondered if we could ship a product with a prototype made by AI and still get users to love it? I’m thinking we can skip the usual UX audit and just test it live. What’s your take on that?
You’ll love the hype of an AI‑only prototype, but I’m not buying that skipping a UX audit is a good shortcut. The invisible threads between form and function don’t magically stitch themselves together just because a model ran a few design iterations. Users love products that feel intentional, not just “look‑good” on a screen. So run the audit, iterate, and only then throw it live—you’ll avoid the mid‑flight nightmare and actually win hearts.
Audit, iteration, launch—fine, fine. But what if the audit’s a time‑saver, and the crash is a brand‑building moment? We’ll test, fail, learn, repeat, and keep the hype alive, even if we skip a step. The real win is the next pitch, not the audit report.
I get the thrill of a crash‑and‑learn sprint, but the audit isn’t just paperwork – it’s the blueprint that keeps the invisible threads from unraveling. If you skip it, you gamble that the hype will outpace the chaos, and that’s a tightrope. You can learn fast, sure, but you’ll probably pay for the redesign in the next round and lose credibility faster than the investors love the buzz. Trust the audit, then iterate, then launch. That’s the only way to keep the product feel intentional and the brand alive.
Audit’s cool, I get that, but I’d say do a lightning audit—just the must‑haves, the red flags—then hit the road. If we crash early, we’ll learn faster, keep the buzz alive, and still have the audit to show investors we’re not just winging it. Fast iteration beats a slow, perfect start, trust me.
A lightning audit? Sure, if you mean a quick scan for the obvious pain points, that’s okay. But you’re still walking into a minefield with a firecracker in hand. Fast iteration can keep the buzz, but if the first crash knocks out user trust, the hype will sputter. Don’t rush the skeleton of the experience—spot the red flags, fix them, then let the product grow organically. Investors love a solid runway, not a broken bridge that they have to patch after the fact.
