What these companies do

🔍 Problem

You need to know how strangers react before you spend the budget. So you buy a panel and wait three months. Fraud runs 15% to 30% and response rates keep falling, so you throw away a quarter to half of what arrives.

💡 Solution

Research firms and startups build AI personas grounded in real human data and query them like a panel. Three grades of grounding: a demographic prompt, a panel's response data, a two-hour interview per person.

💎 Why It Matters

A simulated person now takes the first pass at the survey a real one used to be paid for.
