Your AI Lens Into

Player Experience

Transforms raw gameplay footage and commentary into clean summaries, intelligent tags and timestamped insights to understand what players experienced without watching hours of recordings.

Turn Unstructured Player Reactions Into

Clear, Navigable Insight

Playtest recordings contain rich feedback but they're time-consuming to analyze.

Structured Summaries

Each session is converted into clear sections covering comprehension, friction, flow, challenge, UX cues, and other experience markers custom to your game.

Instant Navigation

Every point is linked to an exact timestamp, letting you jump straight to the moment the player said or did something important.

Smart Annotations

AI tags confusion bursts, hesitation, retries, frustration spikes, delight, "aha" moments automatically so you know exactly where to start analyzing.

Purpose-Built Intelligence for Understanding Gameplay Reactions

Trained on real playtesting behaviour, not generic datasets, so it understands how players react, adapt, and struggle inside interactive systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lysto AI transforms raw gameplay footage into structured summaries, intelligent tags, and timestamped insights, allowing teams to understand what players experienced without watching hours of recordings.

The AI analyzes each gameplay session and converts it into clear sections covering comprehension, friction, flow, challenge, UX cues, and other experience markers specific to your game. It automatically tags key moments such as confusion bursts, hesitation, retries, frustration spikes, delight, and "aha" moments, highlighting exactly where to focus analysis.

At the individual level, the AI creates a concise snapshot of each player's progress and reactions, with an auto-tagged timeline of key moments and transcript highlights synced to video. At the group level, the AI identifies themes and sentiments that occurred across multiple players, showing how many encountered the same issue and where confusion or frustration spiked in the majority.

Every insight is linked to an exact timestamp, letting you jump straight to the moment a player said or did something important. This allows teams to move from raw session data to actionable decisions quickly, without the manual overhead of reviewing every second of footage.

Lysto AI detects a range of emotional and behavioral reactions throughout gameplay sessions.

The AI automatically tags confusion bursts, hesitation, retries, frustration spikes, delight, and "aha" moments based on player commentary and behavior. It identifies where players struggle, what engages them, and how their reactions change over time.

These tagged moments are linked to exact timestamps in the recording, allowing teams to review specific reactions without searching through full sessions. The AI also tracks sentiment patterns across all players, showing where positive or negative reactions occurred most frequently and whether issues were systemic or isolated.

Yes. Lysto AI delivers insights for both individual players and the full playtest group.

For individual players, the AI generates a clear summary of their experience and reactions, creates an auto-tagged timeline of key moments, and syncs transcript highlights to video timestamps. This helps teams understand each player's unique experience with the game.

Across the group, the AI identifies recurring themes and sentiments, tracks how many players faced the same issue, and highlights where confusion or frustration appeared most frequently. This allows teams to separate widespread problems from one-off incidents and recognize patterns that need design changes.

No. Lysto AI allows you to understand player experiences without manually going through the gameplay recordings.

The AI structures each session into summaries, tags key moments, and links every insight to an exact timestamp. This means you can review AI-generated summaries to understand what happened, then jump directly to specific moments that matter rather than watching entire sessions.

However, full gameplay recordings remain available in your dashboard if you want to review sessions in detail, watch specific player behavior, or share footage with your team.

Lysto AI is trained on real playtesting behavior which allows it to understand how players react, adapt, and struggle inside a game.

The AI analyzes player commentary and gameplay behavior, regardless of session length, to generate summaries and tag key moments. While the AI is designed to surface relevant patterns and reactions accurately, teams should treat AI-generated insights as a starting point for analysis rather than final conclusions. Full recordings and transcripts remain available for verification and deeper review.

The accuracy improves with clear player commentary and well-structured playtests. Teams can also provide feedback on AI outputs to help refine future analysis.

No. Lysto AI is built into the Player Experience (Px) platform and requires no additional technical setup or integration.

The AI automatically analyzes gameplay sessions as they are completed. Studios simply create playtests as usual, and the AI structures, tags, and summarizes sessions without requiring any configuration, coding, or additional tools.

All AI-generated insights, summaries, and tagged moments are organized in your dashboard alongside gameplay recordings and research reports.

Lysto AI is built to support multiple roles across game development teams, with each leveraging the platform based on their specific goals.

Game producers, product managers, art directors, game designers, and user researchers all benefit from Lysto's complete playtesting suite. Whether studios need to capture FTUE for an upcoming game, test a concept, A/B test different builds, analyze retention curves, or run competitor studies, the platform adapts to the objectives of different roles.

The AI does the heavy lifting, allowing teams to focus on understanding player behavior and making confident decisions rather than watching hours of footage. Teams can leverage any combination of features—FTUE testing, retention studies, competitor playtesting, A/B testing, concept validation, single-session and multi-session playtests—depending on their use case and development stage.
