PRODUCT PROFILE
About this product
Primitive Labs develops Instinct, a platform for testing digital products with simulated customers. Teams supply information about their users and send modeled customer groups through a product journey. They can examine where those customers continue, hesitate or leave and compare responses to different designs before a launch or update.
