Our Audit Method
We feed screenshots, user flows, and analytics data into a structured AI prompt chain. The AI analyzes each screen for: visual hierarchy issues, accessibility violations, interaction consistency, cognitive load indicators, and deviation from established design patterns. It outputs a scored report with specific recommendations.
What AI Found That Humans Missed
Across 20 audits, AI consistently outperformed human-only review in three areas: inconsistent spacing (humans normalize slight variations over time), accessibility contrast failures (especially in secondary UI), and missing interaction states (hover, focus, loading, error combinations).
Where AI Falls Short
AI struggles with context-dependent UX decisions. It can't tell whether a dense data table is appropriate for a power-user dashboard or overwhelming for a consumer app. It flags deviations from patterns without understanding whether the deviation was intentional. Human interpretation turns AI findings into actionable insights.
The ROI of AI Audits
Manual UX audits cost $8,000-15,000 and take 2-3 weeks. Our AI-assisted audits cost $3,000-5,000 and deliver in 3-5 days. The quality is comparable - sometimes better - because AI doesn't have blind spots from familiarity with the product.
Running Your Own AI Audit
Start with screenshots of your five most-used screens. Feed them to Claude or GPT-4V with a prompt asking for: accessibility issues, visual inconsistencies, missing interaction states, and cognitive load assessment. You'll get 80% of what a full audit provides in about an hour of work.
