Introduction to Recapt

Recapt is self-healing UX software. It detects friction in your product, diagnoses root causes, and fixes them automatically.

How It Works

Recapt creates a closed loop from problem detection to verified fix:

PhaseWhat happens
DetectBehavioral AI finds UX issues from real user sessions: rage clicks, dead clicks, form friction, confusing flows
DiagnoseRoot cause analysis with session evidence and element-level friction data
FixAI proposes code changes, UX improvements, or copy fixes and writes them directly to your codebase
VerifyAfter deployment, recapt measures whether the fix actually improved user experience
LearnSuccessful patterns are stored, making future fixes smarter

This isn't analytics you have to act on. It's software that acts for you.

The Self-Improvement Workflow

Connect recapt to your AI coding assistant (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, or GitHub Copilot) and say:

Heal my site

The AI will:

  1. Find all UX issues across your site
  2. Investigate root causes using session data
  3. Write fixes directly to your codebase
  4. Track whether those fixes actually worked

No dashboards to check. No reports to read. Just better UX, continuously.

What Gets Fixed

Recapt detects all types of UX issues, not just bugs:

Issue TypeExampleExample Fix
Rage clicksUsers hammering an unresponsive buttonAdd loading state, fix event handler
Dead clicksClicks on elements that look interactiveAdd click handler, improve visual affordance
Form frictionUsers abandoning forms mid-wayImprove labels, add validation, simplify
Confusing navigationUsers backtracking repeatedlyAdd breadcrumbs, clarify CTAs
Console errorsJavaScript errors affecting real usersFix the bug, add error boundary
Drop-offsUsers leaving at specific pointsReduce friction, improve content

Behavioral Intelligence

Under the hood, recapt uses a custom behavioral model (not an LLM) trained specifically on how users behave when they're frustrated, confused, or struggling.

This model detects micro-signals that humans miss when watching session replays: subtle hesitations, tiny scroll adjustments, brief pauses that individually seem insignificant but collectively reveal user state.

Every session is automatically scored for:

  • Frustration: rage clicks, dead clicks, scroll thrashing
  • Confusion: hesitation, erratic movement, path wandering
  • Confidence: direct navigation, purposeful interactions

Session Replay

When you need to see exactly what happened, recapt provides full session replay with:

  • Complete DOM reconstruction
  • Console errors and network requests
  • User identification and metadata
  • Privacy-preserving automatic obfuscation

Session replay is evidence for the AI to diagnose issues, and for you when you want to understand a specific user's experience.
