Synthetic Focus Group

Synthetic Focus Group lets you test an idea, a message or a product against five AI personas with fixed, distinct dispositions: the skeptic, the enthusiast, the pragmatist, the innovator and the conservative. Each persona gives its immediate reaction, and afterwards you can ask follow-up questions in free chat.

Be clear about what this is: simulated reactions from fixed archetypes — not personas built on your audience's demographics, and no substitute for real user research. The value is getting the objections on the table early, especially from the skeptic, before spending money on real testing.

Who this tool is for

Anyone who wants to stress-test a message before launch — and needs a devil's advocate more than applause.

Prerequisites

• Signed-in account (growth tier in the catalog)
• 5 credits per run today; the follow-up chat carries no extra charge
• An idea or message written as text

How to use it

1. Describe the idea or message.
2. Pick which of the five archetypes participate (1–5).
3. Read the immediate reactions — the skeptic's objections are usually the most valuable.
4. Ask follow-up questions in the chat until the objections are understood.

How to read the result

• The reactions are the model role-playing the archetype — consistent dispositions, not real people.
• Repeated objections across personas are the signal: those are what the message must answer.
• Use the findings as hypotheses to test with real customers, not as verdicts.

Common errors

• The run fails: credits are refunded automatically.
• Superficial answers: give more context in the description — price, audience, alternatives.

Limitations

• Five fixed archetypes — not adapted to your audience's demographics or psychographics.
• Answers arrive in Norwegian regardless of app language.
• No saving, history or export — copy the insights before closing.
