AI reports are structured analyses of a single screen. Each report uses a vision model to evaluate the screenshot and returns a visual report with a score, priorities, findings, and concrete recommendations. Reports can also ground findings in retrieved research from trusted publishers.

​
Generate a report

1

Select a screen

Click a screen to open its properties panel.
2

Open the report picker

Choose AI reports to open the categorized picker. Browse by category (Usability, Content, Structure, Growth), search by name, or pick a recommended report.
3

Generate

BenchCanvas analyzes the screenshot and returns a structured report with a score hero, sectioned findings, severity and priority badges, and linked sources when research was used.
4

Save it to the screen (optional)

Add the report to the screen as a comment so it stays attached for your team.
Use full-page screenshots for the richest analysis. Reports can evaluate content below the fold, not just the visible viewport. See Screenshots.

​
Report types

Reports are grouped by category in the picker.

​
Usability

Nielsen Heuristic Evaluation

Scores the screen against Jakob Nielsen’s 10 usability heuristics with severity ratings and top priorities.

UX Pattern Detection

Identifies known UX and UI patterns, rates their implementation, and flags missing ones.

Visual Hierarchy and Layout

Analyzes visual weight, reading flow, spacing, and composition.

Accessibility Quick Audit

A visual, WCAG-oriented check of contrast, text size, touch targets, and more.

​
Content

Content and Microcopy Review

Evaluates headlines, CTAs, labels, and microcopy for clarity and effectiveness.

Emotional and Brand Perception

Assesses first impression, brand personality, trust, and emotional tone.

Brand Memorability

Scores brand recall and emotional stickiness using Saffron’s Six Keys to a Memorable Brand.

​
Structure

Component Inventory and Design System

Catalogs visible components, flags inconsistencies, and rates design-system readiness.

Information Architecture Assessment

Evaluates navigation structure, content organization, labeling, and wayfinding.

​
Growth

Conversion Optimization

Reviews CTAs, trust signals, friction, and cognitive load with growth-focused recommendations.

Competitive UX Benchmarking Summary

Benchmarks the screen against current industry best practices for its category.

​
Coming soon

Visual Attention Heatmap

Predicts average visual attention and renders a heatmap overlay on the screenshot. This report is shown in the app but not yet available to generate.

​
Custom reports

Custom reports let you save your own analysis brief and reuse it on any screen, in any of your projects.
1

Open the Custom category

In the report picker, open Custom (available when the feature is enabled for your account).
2

Create a report

Add a name, instructions for what to analyze, and optional output preferences for how findings should be structured. Example chips and Enhance can help sharpen the instructions.
3

Generate on a screen

Select your custom report and generate. BenchCanvas analyzes the selected screen screenshot only and returns a structured report, same as built-in types.
Custom report definitions are saved to your account (not shared with project collaborators). Generated reports still appear on the screen for anyone with access to that project.

​
Who each report is for

Reports are tuned for different roles. Designers, researchers, and product managers will each find types aimed at their work, from layout and component analysis to heuristics, information architecture, and conversion.
Generating a report may consume credits, depending on your plan. Enhancing custom-report instructions uses a smaller credit amount when credits are enabled.
