Question 1

What is synthetic consumer research?

Accepted Answer

Synthetic consumer research uses AI-generated audiences — known as digital twins — to simulate real consumer behavior. Instead of recruiting traditional panels, we create synthetic populations that mirror your target demographics, enabling faster, more cost-effective research at scale.

Question 2

How do digital twin panels work?

Accepted Answer

Digital twin panels are AI-powered representations of consumer segments built from aggregated behavioral data and world models. They respond to surveys, product concepts, and scenarios just as real consumers would, allowing you to run predictive experiments and test hypotheses without the time and cost of traditional fieldwork.

Question 3

How accurate are synthetic panels compared to traditional research?

Accepted Answer

Our synthetic panels are calibrated against real-world data and validated through ongoing benchmarking studies. While they complement rather than fully replace traditional research, they consistently deliver directionally accurate insights — often at a fraction of the cost and turnaround time.

Question 4

What types of research can I run with Avatar Insights?

Accepted Answer

You can run a wide range of studies including concept testing, brand perception analysis, pricing research, audience segmentation, messaging optimization, competitive analysis, and predictive behavioral modeling. Our platform supports both qualitative-style explorations and quantitative surveys.

Question 5

How long does a typical research project take?

Accepted Answer

Most projects deliver initial results within days rather than weeks. Simple concept tests or audience explorations can return insights in as little as 24-48 hours, while more complex multi-segment studies typically take 3-5 business days.

Question 6

Do you offer training on how to use synthetic research?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer hands-on training programs and workshops designed to help teams build AI readiness. Our training covers synthetic panel methodology, prompt engineering for research, interpreting AI-generated insights, and integrating synthetic research into existing workflows.

Question 7

What industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We work across a wide range of industries including consumer goods, retail, financial services, healthcare, technology, media and entertainment, automotive, and professional services. Our synthetic panels can be configured to represent virtually any consumer segment in over 100 countries.
