What is Fiuto and when does it help
Fiuto is a research platform that lets you publish a study, share a link with respondents, and read aggregated results without leaving the tool. A study is a sequence of typed blocks: first-click tests, surveys, card sorts, prototype tests, and more. If that’s the answer you came for, the rest of this article is context.
What Fiuto does
Section titled “What Fiuto does”A study in Fiuto is a sequence of blocks. Each block is one question, one task, or one observation: rate this design, click where you’d start checkout, sort these features into groups, give us 15 seconds with this screen and tell us what you remember. You stack the blocks you need, publish the study, and share the link.
Respondents open the link, work through the blocks, and submit. Results land in the app as they come in, grouped by block, ready to read. From draft to first response usually takes minutes rather than hours.
The full block reference lives under Blocks. Most studies use three or four blocks. Some use one. A few use a dozen.
When to reach for it
Section titled “When to reach for it”Fiuto sits in the gap between an informal sanity check and a formal research project. If you have a prototype, a design, or a live product and you want structured feedback before more people see it, this is the tool. Common moments:
- A prototype is ready to share but not ready to ship. You want a click test on the main flow and a sentiment read.
- Two design directions are in front of you and you’d like signal beyond your own preference.
- A new feature is live and you want to know whether people are finding it.
- You want to test how clear a piece of copy is, without writing a survey from scratch.
If the question is bigger than that, like a foundational study with recruited segments, longitudinal observation, or qualitative interviews, Fiuto can still help with the structured parts, but it isn’t a replacement for that kind of research.
Who Fiuto is for
Section titled “Who Fiuto is for”Two audiences. Both first-class.
People building with AI tools. Claude, Lovable, Cursor, ChatGPT, Replit, and the rest. You can attach a Fiuto study directly to a prototype via the Fiuto MCP server, or via our IDE extension where one ships for your tool. Studies live next to the build context, so feedback comes back to the same place the work happens.
People using more traditional product and design tools. Figma, Sketch, browser-based prototypes, hosted web apps, screenshots, or anything you can share as a link or an image. The AI-builder workflows are an option, not a prerequisite. Most blocks work the same way regardless of how your prototype was made.
The product is the same product for both. Surfacing leans into the AI-builder workflows in some places (the homepage, marketing copy, parts of this help center) because that’s the sharpest differentiator and the part of the market that’s currently underserved. The capability set is the same for everyone.
How studies stay current
Section titled “How studies stay current”Studies in Fiuto are templates. When you launch one, Fiuto mints a spawn: an immutable copy of the study at launch time. The spawn is what respondents see. Each launch mints a new spawn, so editing the original study after launch doesn’t disrupt anyone partway through.
This matters because it lets you iterate on the study while a previous version is still collecting responses. Results stay grouped by spawn, so you can compare versions side by side.
Tiers and what’s included
Section titled “Tiers and what’s included”- Free. Run studies, share links, see aggregate results. AI-assisted features are off by default.
- Pro. Adds the in-app agent: it can suggest blocks, write study plans, and analyse results. Pro is where Fiuto starts feeling like a research collaborator rather than a tool.
- Premium. Higher response volume caps and the heavier analysis flows.
You can publish your first study without leaving the Free tier. Pro and Premium are subscription-based.
About this help center
Section titled “About this help center”This site does two jobs at once.
- In-product help substitute. When the in-app agent isn’t the right answer (Free tier, or a question that needs a written-out walkthrough rather than a conversation), the help center is. Most articles are linked directly from the relevant surface inside the app.
- Public answers to research questions. People search the web for research questions and we’d like the answers to be here. Every article is indexable, written in plain language, and structured so search engines can lift Q/A pairs into rich results.
The two jobs use the same content. We don’t ship one version for users and a different one for cold traffic. If an answer is useful to one audience, it’s useful to the other.
If you can’t find an answer, the in-app agent is the next stop on Pro and above. If you’re on Free and the help center doesn’t have it, write to [email protected] and we’ll add the article.
