Free experiment from Useful Machines

See what happens when AI tries to become your customer.

Give us one real thing a customer might need to do. We’ll give the same task to an AI agent on your website and two competitors. See who it can understand, who it can deal with and where it gets stuck.

One customer task. Your business. Two competitors. Free.

Three Useful Machines-style robots racing toward a checkered flag and a sign that says Better outcomes ahead.

Samples

Same race. Two kinds of job.

Two sample jobs so you can see the shape of a race, then what you get for free when it’s your business.

What you get · free

A private result for your customer job, not a redesign.

After the race, we email you a private page that shows:

  • Your site named against two competitors
  • Find → Understand → Choose → Act explained for that job
  • One good thing and one thing that could be improved
  • One piece of evidence from your site
  • Private result page by email

Free is what happened (observed + interpretation). No fix list.

Want a human view of what to do next? The Race Report (A$195 + GST) adds judgement. It is not withheld free content.

That’s one thing a customer needs to do

What about everything else?

Customers might need to compare products or services, understand pricing, work out what’s right for them, request a quote, make a booking, start a trial, enquire or take another important step.

A Useful Machines Review looks more broadly at how customers find, choose and do business with you, and where AI could make a meaningful commercial difference.

Your free race

Which websites should we race?

Add your site and two competitors first. Then pick one thing a customer might need to do. One race free. No account.

  1. 1 Add the three websites
  2. 2 Pick one customer job
  3. 3 Make it specific and start

Private. We never submit a live quote, booking, or payment.

We use what you send only to reply and do the work you ask for. See our privacy notice for who handles it and how to ask for access or deletion.

Want our take on what to improve?

The Race Report shows what happened, how you compared with two competitors, what we’d look at first, and whether the issue appears worth investigating.
