Synthetic Users

Synthetic Users is a revolutionary platform designed to transform user and market research by eliminating the need for real human participants. It leverages advanced AI, including a multi-agent architecture and powerful Large Language Models (LLMs), to generate 'Synthetic Users'—AI personas that exhibit human-like personalities, cognitive biases, and behaviors. This allows product teams, marketers, and researchers to conduct high-fidelity qualitative and quantitative research with unprecedented speed and cost-efficiency.

The platform is built on the principle of achieving high 'Synthetic Organic Parity,' ensuring that the insights generated by AI participants closely mirror the feedback you would receive from real users. By simulating complex interactions and conversations, Synthetic Users provides a rich, nuanced understanding of user needs, pain points, and reactions to new concepts, all within a secure, SOC 2 compliant environment.

How to use Synthetic Users

Using Synthetic Users is a streamlined process designed for efficiency:

1. Define Your Research Goal: Start by setting a clear objective for your research. You can let the platform's multi-agent system drive the interviews based on your goal.
2. Create or Select Personas: Define the target audience for your research. You can create detailed user personas or select from pre-defined archetypes.
3. Choose Your Research Method: Select the most appropriate interview or survey type for your needs, such as Problem Exploration, Concept Testing, or a Custom Script with your own questions.
4. Enrich Your Data (Optional): Utilize the RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) feature to upload your own proprietary data (e.g., existing user interviews, support tickets, market reports). This enriches your Synthetic Users, making their feedback highly specific and relevant to your unique context.
5. Run the Research: Launch your interviews or surveys. The platform generates responses and interactions in minutes.
6. Analyze and Share Insights: Use built-in tools like knowledge graphs, annotation exporting, and searchable research history to analyze the data. Clone studies to iterate quickly and share findings across your organization to foster a culture of continuous insight.

• Competitor Analysis: Understand how users perceive and interact with competitor products to identify strategic advantages.
• Democratizing Research: Enable non-researchers (like product managers, designers, and marketers) to conduct their own studies and get fast, reliable insights.

Advantages of Synthetic Users

The platform offers significant advantages over traditional research methods:

• Speed: Reduce time-to-insight from weeks or months to just minutes.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Dramatically lower research costs by eliminating recruitment fees, incentives, and manual analysis time.
• Scalability: Run numerous studies in parallel without the logistical headaches of coordinating with real participants.
• 24/7 Availability: Access on-demand insights whenever you need them, integrating research seamlessly into agile workflows.
• High Fidelity & Relevance: Achieve results that are over 95% aligned with human feedback, with the ability to fine-tune personas for maximum relevance.

Pricing and Plans

Synthetic Users offers a flexible and transparent pay-per-use pricing model, not a per-seat subscription, making it accessible for teams of all sizes. The costs are significantly lower than industry averages for traditional research.

• Interviews: Priced between $2 and $27 per interview.
• Surveys: Priced at $5 per survey.
• RAG Enrichment: An additional $5 per Synthetic User to enrich them with your proprietary data.

This model ensures you only pay for what you use, allowing your research budget to scale with your needs. To get started, you can book a demo to begin a trial.
