Fix the flow before you launch.
Human UX testing for AI-built MVPs. FrictionLoop finds where real users get stuck, turns session evidence into clear fix prompts, and retests until the product feels ready.
Built by a product founder. Validated while improving SkillFox across 9 recorded user sessions.
Founding UX Friction Scan. One focused user flow, two full human tester recordings with screen video and audio think-aloud, transcript-based analysis, prioritized fixes, and implementation-ready prompts.

- 2 full tester recordings with screen video and audio think-aloud, usually 5–8 minutes each
- Fix prompts written for builders and developers
- Need more scope? Add another flow or extra tester minutes
Three steps. One focused flow.
Choose the page or user goal that matters most. FrictionLoop tests that path, extracts the friction, and gives you concrete changes to make.
Submit your product
Send the URL, target user, the flow testers should try, and the thing you’re worried users may misunderstand.
Receive your fix list
Screen-video recordings, audio think-aloud, and transcripts are analyzed into the highest-impact friction points.
Implement and retest
Use the fix prompts in Lovable, Manus AI, Cursor, v0, Bolt, Replit, Framer, or with your developer.
Most Friction Scans are delivered within 48–72 hours.
Fast enough for builders who are actively polishing a launch or beta.
Issue found: Two testers paused on the onboarding screen because there were multiple competing start actions. One tester clicked Learn More first, and another was unsure whether Start Project or View Demo began the actual setup flow. Update requested: Make Start Project the single primary CTA on the onboarding screen. Keep it visually dominant and place it above secondary actions. Specific changes: - Rename secondary actions so they do not compete with Start Project. - Move Learn More and View Demo into smaller text links below the primary CTA. - Add helper copy under the headline: “Start by creating your first project. You can adjust details later.” - Keep the existing authentication, routing, and database behavior unchanged. - Do not add new onboarding steps. Acceptance: A first-time user should know within five seconds that Start Project is the next action.
This is the point: not a vague UX critique. A concrete, scoped fix your builder can use.
Evidence, not guesses.
FrictionLoop turns human tester behavior into practical launch fixes.

A tight loop for products that are already clickable but not yet smooth.
Real users attempt one flow.
Sessions become clear friction patterns.
Prompts turn problems into scoped changes.
Confirm whether the flow improved.
First impression, first click, first flow.
Each scan is built around one concrete user task, then looks for the moments that break conversion or comprehension.
First impression
Can a new visitor quickly tell what the product does, who it is for, and why it matters?
First click
Do users know what to click first, or do competing buttons, labels, and layout choices send them off track?
Conversion blocker
What stops or almost stops users from signing up, starting, buying, submitting, or completing the chosen task?
Built for AI-built MVPs.
Best when your product is live or clickable and users can attempt a specific task.
Not a UX research agency.
FrictionLoop is for fast, practical answers: What do users understand first? Where do they click? What stops or almost stops them? What should I fix first?
Scope stays controlled.
A standard scan covers one focused user task or conversion path. If your product has many pages, add another flow, add tester minutes, or split it into a second scan.
Basic questions before you submit.
What kinds of products work best?
Clickable MVPs, landing pages, onboarding flows, AI app flows, SaaS prototypes, Shopify and ecommerce flows, marketplaces, education apps, and consumer products where users can complete a clear task.
How long does a Friction Scan take?
Most Friction Scans are delivered within 48–72 hours after the test task is confirmed.
Do I need design files?
No. A live URL or clickable prototype is enough. If testers can use it, FrictionLoop can test it.
What does one focused flow mean?
A focused flow is one concrete user task, such as understanding the homepage, choosing what to click first, starting onboarding, creating a first project, reviewing a product page, or moving toward checkout.
Can you test Shopify or ecommerce pages?
Yes. FrictionLoop can test whether shoppers understand the offer, trust the page, find the right product, notice important actions, and move through cart or checkout-style flows.
Can you test mobile apps?
Yes. FrictionLoop can test mobile web, Android, and iOS experiences when testers can access the app or prototype and complete a clear task. App testing may require TestFlight access, an APK, a public app-store link, login credentials, or a clickable prototype.
What if I’m not using Lovable?
That’s fine. Fix prompts can be written for Manus AI, Cursor, v0, Bolt, Replit, Framer, your developer, or a general engineering workflow.
Will I get the tester recordings?
Yes. Pilot customers receive the full tester-session recordings with screen video and audio think-aloud when available, along with the FrictionLoop report, key quotes, transcript-based findings, and fix prompts. Recordings may be lightly cropped to remove platform setup screens.
