What is Wizard of Oz MVP?

Wizard of Oz MVP is a product testing method where the user perceives that they are interacting with a fully automated system, but behind the scenes, some functions are performed manually by a person. This allows for quick hypothesis testing and feedback collection without fully developing complex functionality.

For example, for a chatbot, responses from an operator can be manually simulated to understand the demand for such a service before developing a full AI. This approach helps save time and resources in the early stages of development.
