What is Lyssna?

Lyssna connects its UX research data to AI agents via MCP, making participant findings directly queryable from Claude and ChatGPT.

Lyssna is a UX research platform that launched a Model Context Protocol server in beta in July 2026, allowing Claude and ChatGPT to query research data directly in natural language. The platform continues expanding its test types — tree tests now support multiple tasks per tree, and card sorting has gained a hybrid mode. Transcript features (export, bulk download, third-party study routing) are a recurring improvement theme.

What is MockFlow?

MockFlow is turning wireframing into prompt-to-plan generation and a bridge to agentic coding tools.

MockFlow (WireframePro + IdeaBoard) is rebuilding a whiteboard and wireframing suite around generative AI. Recent releases turn a single prompt into complete multi-artifact workspaces — wireframes, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, database schemas, Kanban, Gantt — and add an export path that converts wireframes into structured prompts for agentic coding tools.

Lyssna connects its UX research data to AI agents via MCP, making participant findings directly queryable from Claude and ChatGPT.

◆ Current state

Lyssna is a UX research platform that launched a Model Context Protocol server in beta in July 2026, allowing Claude and ChatGPT to query research data directly in natural language. The platform continues expanding its test types — tree tests now support multiple tasks per tree, and card sorting has gained a hybrid mode. Transcript features (export, bulk download, third-party study routing) are a recurring improvement theme.

◆ Where it's heading

The MCP server is the clearest directional signal in Lyssna's recent history: research data is being positioned as a structured source for AI-assisted synthesis rather than requiring manual export and prompting. The Labs feature for third-party study participants shows Lyssna is also building toward panel access beyond its own test types.

◆ Prediction

Lyssna will expand MCP capabilities beyond read-only query toward automated insight surfacing — likely enabling AI to flag key findings or anomalies across study data without explicit analyst prompting.

0.0

MockFlow is turning wireframing into prompt-to-plan generation and a bridge to agentic coding tools.

◆ Current state

MockFlow (WireframePro + IdeaBoard) is rebuilding a whiteboard and wireframing suite around generative AI. Recent releases turn a single prompt into complete multi-artifact workspaces — wireframes, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, database schemas, Kanban, Gantt — and add an export path that converts wireframes into structured prompts for agentic coding tools.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is collapsing the design-to-plan-to-code path: AI plans and generates the full set of artifacts a project needs, then hands them to Figma or to agentic coding tools like Claude Code. AI is also becoming a composable canvas element (AI prompt box, recipes) rather than a single feature.

◆ Prediction

Expect MockFlow to deepen the design-to-code handoff — richer export to agentic coding tools and tighter Figma round-tripping — and to push AI generation across more board types, grounded in the multi-screen and export-to-prompt features already shipped.
