Analyze UX heuristics from UI screenshots with GPT-4 Vision and Google Sheets

This workflow evaluates website or app screenshots against established UX best practices (Nielsen's 10 Heuristics, WCAG accessibility guidelines, and mobile usability standards) and delivers prioritized, actionable improvement suggestions with severity ratings.

Who's it for

• UX designers seeking automated design audits
• Product managers reviewing UI quality pre-launch
• Agencies conducting client UX audits at scale
• Developers wanting accessibility compliance checks
• Startups running lean without a dedicated UX team

How it works / What it does

1. Accepts screenshot(s) via webhook upload crawl
2. Classifies the UI type (web app, mobile, landing page, dashboard, e-commerce)
3. Encodes image and sends to vision AI for heuristic analysis
4. Evaluates against 10 Nielsen heuristics + WCAG + mobile standards
5. Scores each heuristic category (0–10) and calculates overall UX score
6. Generates prioritized, actionable improvement suggestions per finding
7. Delivers a structured report via email and logs results to Google Sheets
