Yet current simulators struggle to reproduce the diverse behaviors of real users, leading to assistants that generalize poorly to underrepresented users. We identify user representations as an underexplored bottleneck in user simulation. User representations are natural-language descriptions that condition simulators to reproduce a particular user's behavior. A representation's quality becomes apparent in hindsight, through the behavior it induces in a simulator. To evaluate and optimize user representations, we formulate a conversation reconstruction task: given an original conversation, we generate a representation, condition a simulator on it, simulate a conversation, and then measure fidelity by comparing user behavior in the original and simulated conversations. This comparison also yields hindsight feedback, which identifies where the representation falls short and how it can be improved. We introduce hindsight distillation, an online training procedure that distills feedback-conditioned improvements into the representation generator, enabling it to generate improved representations directly from the original conversation. We present UserRepGen-4B, a representation generator trained with hindsight distillation. Across 700 conversations spanning seven datasets, hindsight feedback helps improve user representations at test time, and UserRepGen-4B generates representations that enable more faithful simulation than those generated by GPT-5.5. Beyond conversation reconstruction, learned representations improve simulation fidelity for unseen tasks, better preserve the population-level diversity of real users, and better distinguish users across conversations.
