UX testing doesn't need a big budget. It needs a habit. Continuous, real user testing can cost less per year than a single moderated study elsewhere. Teams that test every month learn more than the ones saving up for two big studies a year. Full numbers in the first thread.

I always joke that my only real skill is talking. Last week at uxcon Vienna, I finally got to put in some serious training hours. 😄 So many great conversations with people who care deeply about UX… Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat, debate, or just say hi.

AI can simulate users. But there’s one thing it still can’t fake. Read more in our blog 🔗 buff.ly/uWPafYx

Marc Busch hat 1.000+ moderierte User Tests geleitet. Dann baute er sein eigenes KI-Interview-Tool und merkte, warum es schlechter als eine einfache Umfrage ist. In der neuen Folge von UX Heroes erzählt er mir, wie. 🎧 Link im ersten Kommentar.

You can now connect Userbrain to the AI tools your team already uses and bring real user feedback into the conversation. Not AI instead of real users. AI connected to real users. Try Userbrain MCP now. Link in the first comment. #UserTesting #AI #MCP

Most interfaces assume users will behave as intended. But real users rarely do. They skip things. They misunderstand things. They take unexpected paths. And that’s not bad behavior. It’s human behavior. #UX

We’ve always had our own panel, and now it’s growing… You can now run unmoderated tests in French, Portuguese, and Italian, with access to testers in 10 new countries. No external panels. No extra steps. Just more reach, same simple setup. #usertesting #unmoderated #ux

Today is all about designing tech that puts people first. World Usability Day 2025 reminds us: it’s not just about AI… It’s about empathy, clarity, and creating experiences that work for everyone. Let’s build with care. Let’s design for humans.

Numbers or Narratives? Both, Please! 📈🗣️ When it comes to user testing, it’s not about choosing between numbers and narratives. It’s about making them work together to unlock the full story. Read the full blogpost here: buff.ly/jgHgyzA

That’s what happens when you cut out the chaos of recruiting, scheduling, and analyzing user tests manually. ✅ Rapid testing ✅ Real, spoken user insights ✅ AI-generated summaries ✅ More time for actual design work

Clients buy certainty. Not cool mock-ups. Love the story about Robin Sharma winning client pitches with Userbrain videos. Today, Robin is winning pitches by showing, not guessing. Ready to do the same? Run one Userbrain test and let users close your next deal.

When you're running dozens of studies, things can get messy. So we built a fix: Folders 📂 With Folders, you can: 📁 Group tests by sprint, feature, client—whatever fits 📁 Open one place to see everything related 📁 Share a single link and keep your team on the same page
