After you have looked at your own landing page twenty times, you cannot see it anymore. You know where the pricing link is, so it feels obvious. You know what the product does, so the headline reads fine. Every founder I know has this blind spot and none of us can fix it alone.
So I built FiveStrangers. You give it a URL and pick what visitors are supposed to do there (sign up, call you, buy something). Then five AI visitors open your site in a real browser, one at a time, each with a different personality:
\- the Google skimmer, who gives your page ten seconds before leaving
\- the mobile ad clicker, browsing on a phone with no patience
\- the skeptical evaluator, who reads everything and hunts for proof
\- the comparison shopper, who has three competitor tabs open
\- the ready buyer, who just wants to convert and counts every obstacle
They scroll, click your buttons, follow links across pages, and narrate what they are thinking the whole time. At the end each one either converted or bounced, and you can see the exact moment you lost them.
While that runs, the boring measurable stuff happens too: Lighthouse performance, accessibility, broken links, SEO, security headers, and whether ChatGPT and Perplexity are even allowed to crawl your site. All of it turns into one score with the evidence attached.
Two things it found on a real site I tested it against, a nursing service in Berlin:
The skeptical visitor read the entire site, then refused to call. Its reasoning: the page says "certified nursing service" but never names a certificate, an authority, or a date. For a business where families are handing over care of a parent, that gap killed the conversion by itself.
The comparison shopper clicked the "call us now" button on the contact page and nothing happened. It focused a form field instead of starting a call. Nobody had noticed. That is a real bug that was quietly costing phone calls.
What it is not: a guarantee, or a replacement for talking to actual users. The findings are automated, and I make it cite what a visitor actually saw or a number that was actually measured, because "your CTA could be stronger" helps nobody.
Status: my payment provider has not approved the store yet, so it is early access at the moment. You can put in your site and I will email you the moment audits open. There is also a complete example report you can download without giving me anything, so you can judge the output before deciding.

Price when it opens is 12.99 one time per audit, no subscription. Happy to answer anything about how the agents work, and honestly interested in hearing where you think this falls apart.
I'm begging everyone to please go outside and talk to people and make friends. They'll give you feedback pro-bono. Also, stop shilling ai products on this thread.
We're truly reaching the point where the web is just built for AI and bots, not human users.
$13 per audit LOLLLLLLLL
NGL I work in corporate digital marketing and this kind of stuff is exactly what’s being encouraged and a qualified applicant who already uses AI agents to provide alternative perspectives would have a definite advantage. Not saying it’s good bad or ugly, just the way it is now.
$13 for an AI to audit your website? You can't be fuckin serious lmao
I cannot express how profoundly goofy this is. AI does not analyze nor even think like a human. If anything, it is notoriously horrible at UX because of this. It looks for data points, not the flow of the human eye or general human comprehension. Literally just communicate with human beings. It costs nothing to say, "hey bro, will you check out my website and tell me how it feels?" I'm just boggling how much you have overcomplicated something so incredibly easy to do in order to avoid human interaction, ironically, for something made for human interaction.
Thanks ai
This is so dystopian its unreal. Are we really at the point where 'hmm, I need to check this website to see how humans feel about it' turns into 'I'm going to pay someone who has 5 clankers do it for him'.
