Three things it does

  1. 01

    AI-generated visuals

    The journey is drawn, not written — a diagram gets argued with in a way a paragraph does not.

  2. 02

    Phase by phase

    From first contact through to the moment the product is actually useful to them.

  3. 03

    Every touchpoint explicit

    Including the ones that only ever existed in your head.

What it lets you do

  • See the hour-long setup step you were quietly assuming people would push through
  • Give a designer or co-founder something concrete to disagree with
  • Turn a vague product description into a sequence you can test

Products rarely fail at the feature. They fail at the third step, where the customer was supposed to do something they were never going to do.

Common questions

What is a customer journey map?

A visual account of every interaction a customer has with your product, from first awareness through to getting value out of it. It exists to make the implicit steps explicit, because the ones nobody writes down are the ones that quietly lose people.

Do I need customers before I can map the journey?

No. At this stage the map is a hypothesis, and that is what makes it useful — it states plainly what you are assuming people will do, which gives you something specific to test in the customer interviews later in the sequence.

What comes out of it?

AI-generated visuals of the journey rather than a written description, so each touchpoint can be examined and refined individually.
