The UX Audit
AI-powered UX Audits for founders and small teams
One UX issue we see constantly when auditing startup sites:
The page makes sense to the builder, but not to a first-time visitor.
Founders know their product deeply, so it’s easy to skip context. Headlines are clever but vague. Buttons assume users already understand the value. Key info is there… just not in the order users expect it.
What’s interesting is that this isn’t a “bad design” problem, it’s a perspective problem. When you live with a product every day, it’s hard to see it with fresh eyes.
A simple test we use: if someone had 5 seconds on your homepage, would they know what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters?
Curious - how do you validate clarity on your site today?
Hello! We just launched The UX Audit, an AI-powered tool that analyses websites and highlights usability issues, UX risks, and improvement opportunities.
Try it here for free: https://www.theuxaudit.com
We built this because, as designers, we kept seeing early-stage teams struggle with UX but not have the budget (or time) to hire a UX team.
How it works:
Drop in a URL →
Run an AI-driven UX scan →
Get actionable UX recommendations you can actually use.
Everything is AI-generated guidance - meant to help teams improve, not replace human UX expertise. We experiment daily (sometimes fuelled by too much coffee) to make insights as accurate as possible.
We’d love feedback from this community:
Are the insights useful?
Would this replace any part of your current UX process?
Drop your URLs, share your UX scores, or just ask questions - let’s learn, improve, and maybe laugh at our collective UX blunders together!

Congrats on the launch, looks solid. How are you currently thinking about acquiring early users and gathering feedback?

Thanks, really appreciate that!
Right now we’re keeping things very hands-on. We’re working closely with a small group of early users, running real audits on their sites, and using that feedback to improve where the insights feel genuinely useful (and where they don’t).
A lot of what we’re learning comes from direct conversations and seeing how people actually apply the recommendations in practice. We’re intentionally not trying to scale too fast, getting the quality right feels more important at this stage.
If you’re building something and open to it, happy to run an audit and hear your honest thoughts 😊

I really appreciate that approach, especially the emphasis on prioritizing insight quality over rushing for growth. This strategy typically leads to long-term benefits.
One method I've found effective at this stage is using Reddit not just for scaling but as a structured feedback loop. There are usually subreddits where your target users are already discussing similar audits, SEO issues, or optimization questions.
If you position your posts carefully and avoid being promotional, you can elicit brutally honest feedback quickly, which aligns with how you're building your project.
Out of curiosity, have you explored Reddit at all, or have you primarily focused on direct outreach and conversations so far?
