Accelerating user research with synthetic users

关注

关于我们

We are passionate about products. As a team we have developed many products over the years. Our biggest pain point was always user research/testing. It was time consuming and costly. We always wished there was a way to accelerate it. If we get it right (and we are showing signs of it) we will be able to help companies accelerate product development and mitigate risk. As product lovers, nothing could be more rewarding.

    UX researchers are not paid to talk to people. They're paid to understand user needs. Despite the hate he gets, Hugo Alves, Co-Founder of Synthetic Users, is building a product to help with this. Many founders claim to have thick skin. In Hugo's case, this is constantly on display. People have called him stupid, a wanker, and everything in between. Why? - because he is creating human-like AI participants for user research… In this week's edition of Hiring Humans, we discuss: - The role of UX researchers: they are paid for the outcome, understanding user needs, not for how they get there (talking to humans is an option, but not a requirement). - Real and synthetic humans share the same flaw: a desire to please. He's built his product from the ground up to avoid this flaw. - What he believes flags a great candidate: side projects. Whether it's tinkering with a new technology or simply trying to solve a problem in their personal life. Curiosity is key. Full post in comments. ______________________________ ??

    It’s a wrap! The first edition of the Nova SBE Executive Education program “Gen A.I.: Innovation Sprint” came to a concluison. Three days of #learn #apply #build: understanding the impact of Generative A.I. on innovation: ? how will our new products, services, processes and business models will leverage AI to deliver value? ?how will Gen AI tools can be applied on the innovation methodologies and processes, specially our Lufe-Centric Visionary Innovation framework? ?what will change for innovators and innovation teams when the robots become an integral part of everything we do? We partnered up with LTPlabs, LLYC and Nova SBE Innovation Ecosystem, under the academic direction of Pedro Oliveira, to design a 3-day intensive and hands-on learning experience that used 8 different AI tools and 10 different innovation tools to help our participants to experience the power of Generative A.I. and the transformative power of innovation. Special thanks to Synthetic Users for gracefully allowing us to use the full extension of their tool’s power! Thank you to Pedro Amorim, Jo?o Alves, Americo Vizer, Celia Fernández-Sesma, Marlene Gaspar, Catarina Silva, Ana Marta Mar?al and - specially - Océane Litrico for being our partners in (good) crime. A big shout out to everyone at Nova SBE Executive Education - program manager, customer experience, program advisor, enhanced learning office - for their (recurrent) excellence. An thank you - more than anyone - to all our participants. You are pioneers!!!!

    Since Hugo started spilling the beans, we need to start preparing for the demo. Can you help us out? What should be the test? Who do you want to learn about and what do you want to learn? Throw some hard challenges at us, please!

    I sent this to a colleague in October 2022. Really soon, we'll be releasing a set of feature for Synthetic Users that will bring us really close to this.

    I love polarizing startup ideas—those that evoke a feeling of “this will never work” from some and “this is going to be a game changer” from others. Hugo Alves’ startup,?Synthetic Users,?does exactly that. At its core, the idea is that user research can be conducted with human-like AI participants. In recent months, I’ve seen comments ranging from “this is stupid” to “this unlocks great opportunities.” In our recent interview for Hiring Humans, we talk about how he: - Sees user research evolving as AI tools improve - Thinks about user researchers being “tool agnostic” - Thinks about hiring for early-stage startups - Hopes hiring changes in the future What I particularly like about Hugo’s vision—both in user research and in hiring—is that he thinks big and outside the box. We need more of these tinkerers who are not afraid to scrap the old way and reimagine a completely new one. ______________________________ ??

    A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hosting a webinar on AI and the innovation process. In it, we explored how charities can combine human expertise with AI to supercharge innovation and deliver real impact (something, on today of all days, we need more than ever!). We call it Innovation 2.0. The session covered: ? Practical steps for combining human expertise with AI ?? The role of AI tools across the innovation process ?? Real-world examples of AI in action from WWF, Woodgreen, and Missing People It was awesome to see so much engagement and interest! If you missed it—I’ve dropped the full webinar link in the comments below. ???? Thanks to Maddi Cobb, Caitlin MacDonald and Ryan Bromley for joining me. And shout out to Outset and Synthetic Users, a couple of awesome AI tools we feature. #Innovation #AI #Research #CharitySector #Webinar

    Dr. Alexandra Diening and Jie Li presented in Humane AI Net's workshop in Adra - AI-Data-Robotics-Association's annual event #ADRF24 about the importance of AI tech & raising societal awareness about it which inspired Alexandra to start the Human-AI Symbiosis Alliance?. Symbiosis in this context refers to the form of relationship between the human & AI where: 1) both can benefit "mutualism", 2) one can benefit without hurting the other "commensalism", 3) one can benefit at the expense of the other "parasitism", or both can detriment "competition". They gave examples of successfully using synthetic users for participatory design. People are also fast to judge the tech capability without trying it. ???? What's your opinion on the topic? Which relationship do you think people are most likely to form with GenAI Tech? Let us know in the comments. ????
