Create personas from your Figma frames, then test designs with synthetic users to get behavioral and emotional insights without recruiting anyone. Persona Testing Overview **Time per test**: \~2 minutes\ **Cost**: 50 credits per test\ **Initial setup**: 2-4 frames (one-time to create personas)\ **Test frames**: 1 frame per test *** ## How It Works: 5 Steps ### Step 1: Open Persona Testing Click **Persona Testing** in the Floto plugin. Step 1: Persona Testing Dashboard Dashboard shows your personas and recent tests. Start by creating personas if you don't have them yet, or test a new design with existing personas. ### Step 2: Create or Manage Personas First time? Set up personas. Already have them? Manage and edit anytime. Step 2: Manage Personas Personas auto-generate from 2-4 frames. Edit any persona detail (demographics, goals, pain points, tech savviness, brand loyalty, decision-making style, communication preferences). **Persona details:** * Demographics (age, gender, location, income, education) * Professional profile (job title, industry, experience, company size) * Goals (primary, secondary, long-term) * Pain points (functional, emotional, social) * Tech savviness (low, medium, high) * Brand loyalty (low, medium, high) * Decision-making style * Preferred communication channels ### Step 3: Select a Frame to Test Pick one screen you want feedback on. Test one frame per test. Step 3: Select Frame Can retest the same frame with different personas or different questions. After setup, testing doesn't require adding more frames. ### Step 4: Ask a Question Ask what you want to know about user response. Step 4: Ask a Question Examples: * "What catches their attention first?" * "Where do they get confused?" * "Would they complete this task?" * "What's missing from this design?" 500 character limit. Get AI suggestions for follow-up questions. **Processing** (\~90 seconds): 1. Analyzing design context (15s) 2. Simulating persona perspective(s) (15s) 3. Generating persona response(s) (15s) 4. Evaluating feedback quality (15s) 5. Finalizing responses (15s) ### Step 5: Review Results See how each persona responded. Step 5: Review Results For each persona tested: * **Direct response** - What the persona would do or say * **Rationale** - Why they respond that way * **Behavioral insight** - How their traits influence their response *** ## Testing Approaches ### Multi-Persona Test Get all personas' responses in one test: * Identify consensus (what everyone agrees on) * Spot disagreement (where personas differ) * See shared pain points * Find gaps everyone identifies ### Single-Persona Test Deep dive on one persona: * Focused perspective * Compare multiple single tests to see differences *** ## Managing Personas ### View & Edit See all persona details. Edit any attribute anytime. Changes apply to future tests immediately. ### Add Custom Personas Create personas manually from scratch. No frames required. Combine with auto-generated personas. ### Delete Personas Remove personas you don't need. Deletion is permanent. Existing test results preserved. *** ## Frame Requirements ### For Initial Persona Creation * **2-4 frames** required (one-time setup) * Screens, wireframes, mockups * 20MB maximum size per frame ### For Testing * **1 frame** per test * Any Figma frame type * 20MB maximum size *** ## Question Suggestions Get AI-powered suggestions after creating a test: * 3 default suggestions shown * Click to auto-fill any suggestion * "More Suggestions" button for more ideas * Rate-limited (wait a few minutes if limit hit) * Suggestions based on your design *** ## FAQ Unlimited. Create as many as needed. Test with all at once or individually. No. The 2-4 frame setup is one-time only. After you create personas, you can test designs without adding more frames. You can add custom personas anytime without frames. Yes. Go to **Manage Personas** to edit any persona. Changes apply to future tests immediately. Yes. Run multiple tests with the same frame but different personas or questions. The suggestions endpoint has rate limiting. Wait a few minutes and try again. You can still test without suggestions. No. Personas are synthetic simulations based on AI. They don't replace user research but provide rapid feedback for iteration. Each persona has a tech level (low, medium, high) which influences how they respond to technical features and complexity. Each test costs **50 credits**, regardless of how many personas you test.
