Personabud

Built for researchers

Pilot your research with AI personas built from your real data

Personabud turns your past interviews, surveys and notes into AI personas that give directional feedback (early signals that point where to look, not verdicts) on websites, Figma files and screenshots, so you know exactly what to put in front of real users next.

Research is slow to pilot

Recruitment is expensive

Every round of real users costs budget and weeks of lead time. That's too much to spend on a flow you haven't pressure-tested yet.

Iteration outpaces research

Design changes daily; studies run monthly. Rough edges ship because there was no cheap way to catch them early.

Study plans go in cold

You can't cheaply dry-run a study or sanity-check a prototype before committing real participants to it.

How it works

1

Bring your research

Upload interview notes, survey results or persona docs as PDF, Word, CSV or pasted text. Stored privately, never used to train AI models, and you can delete it anytime.

2

Build a grounded persona

Personabud synthesizes a persona strictly from your material, and flags where the evidence is thin instead of inventing.

3

Point it at a design

A website, Figma file or screenshots. Get structured, directional feedback plus a plan for what to validate with real users.

Your research, not stereotypes

Generic persona tools generate plausible characters from population averages, but they aren’t your users. Personabud personas are built only from the research you provide: real behaviours, real vocabulary, real frustrations. The more research you add, the sharper they get. And nobody else has your data.

  • Synthesized strictly from your uploaded material
  • Thin evidence gets flagged, never papered over
  • Compounds in value with every study you add
  • Stored privately and never used to train AI models. Delete your data, or your whole account, anytime

Coming soon

Personabud, right inside Figma

Select frames on your canvas, ask your personas, and read their directional feedback without leaving Figma. Same personas, built from your research. In private testing now, and headed for the Figma Community.

The Personabud plugin open in Figma: the example persona giving directional feedback on a selected frame

It doesn’t replace real users. That’s the point

Personabud pilots and prioritizes. It tells you where to point your real research budget, not how to skip spending it. Every report is labelled directional and ends with suggestions for what’s worth validating with real users.
