Predict User Responses

Know exactly what users will say before building. Validate features, designs, and decisions with high accuracy.

Mind Reasoner

Stop Building. Start Validating.

The shift: Create user minds. Ask them any question. Know how they’ll respond before you build anything.

Result: Ship features users actually want. Avoid costly mistakes. Accelerate product-market fit.

What You Can Predict

Feature Validation

Know before building:

  • Will they actually use this?
  • Does it solve their real problem?
  • What concerns will they raise?
  • Which use cases matter most?

Test features with user minds.

Design Decisions

Validate design choices:

  • Which design will they prefer?
  • What will confuse them?
  • Where will they get stuck?
  • What will delight vs. frustrate?

Test designs before implementing.

User Needs

Uncover hidden needs:

  • What do they actually need (vs. request)?
  • What pain points aren’t they mentioning?
  • Which problems are most urgent?
  • What would make them switch?

Ask the right questions.

Adoption Barriers

Identify blockers early:

  • What will prevent them from adopting?
  • Which concerns will they raise?
  • What proof do they need?
  • What makes them hesitate?

Address barriers before launch.

How to Predict

Upload transcripts from user research:

  • User interviews
  • Customer support calls
  • Feedback sessions
  • Onboarding calls

Training: 5-15 minutes per user or segment

Validate features:

$> "We're considering building [feature description].
>Would you use this? Why or why not?"

Test designs:

$> "Here are 3 design options for [feature]. Which do you
>prefer and why? What concerns would each raise?"

Uncover needs:

$> "What's your biggest pain point with [workflow]?
>What would make you switch to a new solution?"

Get predictions. Validate decisions. Ship the right features.

You’ll know:

  • What users will say
  • What they need (not just want)
  • What will drive adoption

Real Examples

Before Building

You ask user mind:

$> "We're considering adding bulk export to CSV/Excel.
>Would you use this? How important is it to you?"

User mind predicts:

YES. This is my #1 requested feature.
Why it's critical for me:
- I manually export 20+ reports every week
- It takes 3-4 hours of my time weekly
- Current export is slow and limited to 100 rows
- I need to export filtered views, not just all data
This would save me 15+ hours per month. I'd use it daily.
Requirements for me:
- CSV and Excel formats (Excel preferred)
- Export filtered views, not just raw data
- Ability to schedule automated exports
- No row limits (I need to export 10K+ rows)
Without bulk export, I'm constantly frustrated with your product.
This feature would make me a champion user.

Validate with More Users

You ask another user mind:

$> "Same question: bulk export to CSV/Excel?"

Second user mind reveals:

I wouldn't use it.
Why:
- I only export 1-2 reports per month
- Current manual export is fine for my use case
- I prefer to work within the product, not in Excel
This doesn't solve any pain point for me. I wouldn't pay extra for it.
What I actually need instead:
- Better filtering within the product
- Saved views I can quickly access
- Shareable dashboards with my team

Decision Made

Result:

  • High-volume users (enterprise) desperately need bulk export
  • Low-volume users (SMB) don’t care about bulk export
  • Build bulk export for Enterprise tier
  • Focus on in-app improvements for SMB tier

Outcome: Right feature for the right segment. No wasted engineering time.

Common Scenarios

Predict:

  • Which features will users actually use?
  • What’s nice-to-have vs. must-have for them?
  • Which features drive upgrades?
  • What would make them switch to competitors?

Test multiple features with user minds. Prioritize what moves the needle.

Outcome: Build the right features in the right order, maximize engineering ROI

Predict:

  • Which design will users prefer?
  • What will confuse them in each option?
  • Where will they get stuck?
  • What will delight vs. frustrate?

Test design options before implementing. Ship the right design.

Outcome: Avoid expensive redesigns and improve UX before launch

Predict:

  • What would they pay for this?
  • Which tier would they choose?
  • What features drive upgrades?
  • What feels overpriced vs. fair?

Validate pricing with user minds before setting prices.

Outcome: Optimize pricing and packaging for maximum revenue

Predict:

  • How do different segments respond differently?
  • What does Enterprise need vs. SMB?
  • Which features matter to each segment?
  • How do use cases differ by segment?

Create minds for each segment. Build segment-specific features.

Outcome: Serve each segment better with targeted product development

Predict:

  • What would make users switch to competitors?
  • Which competitive features do they actually care about?
  • Where are you truly differentiated?
  • What’s your defensible moat in their eyes?

Understand competitive threats from user perspective.

Outcome: Defend against churn with the right feature investments

Predict:

  • Where will new users get stuck?
  • What will confuse them in onboarding?
  • Which features should they discover first?
  • What will make them give up vs. succeed?

Test onboarding flows with user minds before shipping.

Outcome: Increase activation rates with validated onboarding

Quick Start

Upload transcripts from user research:

  • User interviews
  • Customer support calls
  • Feedback sessions
  • Sales calls with users

Training: 5-15 minutes per user/segment

Ask user minds:

  • Would you use this feature?
  • Which design do you prefer?
  • What concerns would you have?

Get answers. Validate decisions.

After launches:

  • Did users respond as predicted?
  • What surprised you?
  • Update user minds with new feedback

Result: Predictions get better over time

Implementation

Use Mind Reasoner through Claude Code

No coding. Just natural conversation in Claude.

You:

$> Create user minds for our enterprise segment using these interviews:
>> /Documents/research/enterprise-user-1.vtt
>> /Documents/research/enterprise-user-2.vtt
>> /Documents/research/enterprise-user-3.vtt

Mind Reasoner:

✓ Training 3 enterprise user minds... (~10 min each)

You:

$> We're considering building bulk export. Ask each user:
>> "Would you use bulk export? How important is it?"

Mind Reasoner:

User 1 (Sarah - Enterprise Admin):
YES. Critical. Exports 20+ reports weekly, wastes 3-4 hours.
Would upgrade to Enterprise tier for this feature.
User 2 (Mike - Enterprise Analyst):
YES. Very important. Needs automated scheduled exports.
Current manual process is painful.
User 3 (Lisa - Enterprise Manager):
NO. Rarely exports. Prefers in-app analytics.
This doesn't solve any problem for her.
Summary: 2 out of 3 enterprise users need this badly.
Build for Enterprise tier. High-value feature.

You:

$> For Sarah and Mike: what are their requirements?
>> What would make them not use it even if we build it?

Mind Reasoner:

Sarah's requirements:
- CSV and Excel formats
- Export filtered views (not just all data)
- No row limits (needs 10K+ rows)
- Fast export generation (<5 seconds)
Adoption blockers:
- If limited to 1000 rows: won't use it
- If can't export filtered views: too limiting
Mike's requirements:
- Scheduled automated exports
- Email delivery or cloud storage integration
- Multiple export templates
- API access for programmatic exports
Adoption blockers:
- If no scheduling: doesn't solve his problem
- If manual only: defeats the purpose
Both need: unlimited rows, filtered exports
Mike needs: automation/scheduling
Sarah needs: speed + format flexibility
