    We tried using ChatGPT for user-testing. Here’s what happened

    Can ChatGPT replace real user testing? We put it to the test at Heatmap.com, our analytics tool for e-commerce revenue, by comparing ChatGPT against a remote user testing tool. The results: AI can’t fully replace real users, but it’s a powerful way to speed up the design process, get instant usability critiques, and refine prototypes before testing with real people. In this video we show exactly how we used ChatGPT to simulate novice and expert users, run A/B tests on prototype PDFs, and turn AI into a critique partner for faster product design. 00:00 Can AI replace your user-tests? 01:09 The limits of remote testing 02:15 How we put GPT to work 03:41 What GPT got right (and wrong) 04:43 GPT vs remote testing tools 05:23 Where AI really fits 05:59 Faster design with real users at the end

    AI Agents vs SaaS: The Real Future of Software

    Is SaaS really over — or just evolving into something new?Everywhere you look, AI is creeping into workflows, pricing models, and product strategies. Now the question isn’t just “What’s the next SaaS app?” but “Will AI agents replace SaaS entirely?”In this video, I break down why the SaaS model isn’t dead but mutating. AI is shifting tools from “we’ll help you do it faster” to “we’ll just do it for you.” That’s a fundamental change — one that could transform business models, competitive moats, and the way products are built.We’ll explore how agents stack up against SaaS, whether Microsoft’s prediction of “agents replacing apps” is real, and what it means for anyone building in 2025. If you’re a founder, designer, or just curious about the next wave of software, this is the one to watch.👉 Like, comment, and subscribe if you want more deep dives on SaaS, AI, and product design.
