Guide

Learn how to get the most out of //uxen and improve your team's UX consistency.

Getting Started

//uxen is a UX engine that helps product teams maintain design consistency by reviewing user flows against a library of UX principles and generating structured specifications from requirements.

Quick Start

  1. Sign up for a free account to get 10 UX checks per month
  2. Explore the built-in UX principles library (38+ principles)
  3. Upload your first screenshot or screen recording
  4. Review the AI-generated analysis and violation report

Flow Reviews

Upload screenshots or screen recordings of your user flows to get instant UX analysis.

Supported Formats

  • Images: PNG, JPG, WebP (up to 200MB)
  • Videos: MP4, WebM, MOV (up to 200MB)
  • Figma exports and screen captures

How It Works

  1. Upload your flow captures in the Review tab
  2. Select the intent (e.g., checkout, onboarding) or let AI auto-detect
  3. Choose which principles to review against
  4. Receive a detailed report with violations, severity levels, and suggestions

Generating Specs

Transform rough requirements or feature descriptions into structured UX specifications.

What You Get

  • User stories with acceptance criteria
  • Screen-by-screen specifications
  • Field definitions with validation rules
  • Linked UX principles for each recommendation

Intents & Journeys

Every user flow has an intent - the goal the user is trying to accomplish. //uxen maps intents to journey blueprints with canonical steps.

Common Intents

  • PAYMENT: Checkout and payment flows
  • ONBOARDING: User signup and first-time experiences
  • LOGIN: Authentication and account access
  • SEARCH: Finding and filtering content
  • SETTINGS: User preferences and configuration

How It Works

When you upload a flow, you can specify the intent or let AI auto-detect it. The detected intent determines which principles apply and what canonical steps to expect (e.g., PAYMENT flows should have: Cart Review, Payment Details, Confirmation, Success).

Severity Levels

Each violation is assigned a severity level to help you prioritize fixes.

  • Blocker: Critical issues that prevent users from completing their goal. These must be fixed before release.
  • Warning: Significant usability problems that frustrate users but don't completely block them. Should be addressed soon.
  • Nit: Minor polish items and nice-to-haves. Address when time permits or during design refinement.

Custom Principles

Create custom UX principles tailored to your brand guidelines, design system, or industry requirements.

Principle Anatomy

  • Name: Clear, descriptive title
  • Description: What the principle ensures
  • Category: Grouping (e.g., Accessibility, Usability)
  • Severity: Blocker, Warning, or Nit
  • Journeys: Which user flows this applies to

Custom principles are available on Starter plans and above.

Rulesets

Group principles and journey blueprints into versioned rulesets for consistent reviews across your team.

Use Cases

  • Version your UX standards alongside your design system
  • Create different rulesets for different products
  • Track changes to your UX standards over time

Sharing & Collaboration

Share reviews and generated specs with stakeholders using public links.

Features

  • Generate read-only shareable links for any review or spec
  • Links work for anyone, no account required
  • Revoke access anytime by deleting the share link

Sharing is available on Starter plans and above.

Best Practices

Get better results from your flow reviews with these tips.

Capturing Good Flows

  • Use high-resolution screenshots (1x or 2x scale)
  • Capture the complete flow from start to finish
  • Include loading states, errors, and edge cases
  • For videos, keep recordings under 2 minutes for faster processing

Writing Good BRDs

  • Be specific about user goals and context
  • Include constraints (platform, accessibility needs)
  • Mention any existing patterns to follow
  • List the key user actions expected in the flow

Team Setup

Invite your team members and collaborate on UX reviews together.

Managing Your Organization

  • Go to Organization Settings from the sidebar menu
  • Invite members by email - they'll receive a signup link
  • Assign roles: Admin (full access) or Member (can review and generate)
  • All team members share the organization's check quota

Seat Limits

Each plan has a seat limit. Free allows 1 seat, Starter allows up to 5, and Scale allows up to 15. Contact us for Enterprise with unlimited seats.
