See Clearly.
Decide Confidently.

Synthetic research that reveals what your customers, constituents, or market really think, in minutes, not months.

  • Traditional research takes 6-12 weeks and costs $50,000 per study.
  • Ditto synthetic research is grounded in census data and behavioral patterns, giving you strategic clarity to act while it still matters.
  • 92% statistical overlap with traditional focus groups. Answers in minutes, not months.
  • Works via API, MCP, Claude Code, Slack or Web Interface.

How We Create Instantaneous Understanding

Synthetic personas—AI-powered representations of real populations—that capture how people actually behave in context

1

Population-True Foundations

Personas grounded in census data, market statistics, behavioral data. Statistically accurate representations.

2

Context Layers

Media consumption, cultural context, news environments, behavioral context layered in.

3

Stress Testing & Validation

Validated against real-world behavior. Based on research by Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford, Oxford.

Speed and Depth. Not One or the Other.

Most research tools give you either speed OR depth. Never both. Ditto gives you both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What's the Difference Between This and ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT guesses the next word based on the word that came before it. Digital twins are built on facts—starting with census data, market structure, cultural context, media consumption patterns, and economic realities. We create statistically grounded simulations of real populations, not word predictions.

What is a Synthetic Persona Panel?+

A Synthetic Persona Panel is a simulated audience that mirrors a real population. We combine official statistics with behavior, culture, media, and price context so the twins respond like real people—at speed and scale.

What Problems Does This Solve vs. Traditional Research?+

Traditional panels are slow, expensive, and episodic. Digital twins are always‑on, so teams can iterate daily, compare markets side‑by‑side, and make decisions in days—not weeks.

What Do I Actually Upload or Test?+

Concepts, messages, headlines, pack designs, RTBs/claims, naming options, creative variants, pricing/offer tests, and more. You can also bring segment definitions or customer data to condition the twins.

How Long Does a Run Take?+

Most concept or message tests return results in minutes. Large multi‑market testbeds may take longer depending on scope.

Coverage & Samples

Which Countries Are Available?+

Currently: USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Japan, South Korea, India, Mexico, Brazil.

Can You Model Niche B2B or Hard-to-Reach Audiences?+

Yes. We build constrained twins (e.g., by role, industry, firmographics) and validate against any signals you can share (pipeline mix, win/loss, CRM cohorts). For ultra‑narrow groups, we emphasize repeatability and human bridge options.

Methodology & Validation

How Do You Know the Results Are Reliable?+

We run generalization checks, test–retest stability, wording sensitivity analyses, and alignment to real‑world signals (e.g., sentiment, share movements). EY Americas found 95% correlation with traditional research.

Can We Validate with Humans if Needed?+

Absolutely. For regulated or high‑stakes decisions, add our Human Bridge step: a small targeted human read to confirm directionality before you ship.

Will the Models Hallucinate or Give Unrealistic Answers?+

We minimize drift by constraining tasks, enforcing reasoning scaffolds, and scoring against rubrics. We show traceable rationales and segment‑level drivers so you can audit the "why," not just the score.

Using the Product

What Do I Get Back?+

Clear scores and ranks, segment breakdowns, rationales/commentary, and a concise decision brief (what to keep, cut, change). Multi‑market runs include country comparisons.

Can I Bring My Own Customer Data?+

Yes. We securely upload segment definitions, CRM cohorts, or past research summaries. We use them to condition twins or evaluate against your proprietary segments.

When Shouldn't I Use Synthetic Personas?+

Legal compliance questions requiring jurisdiction‑specific legal advice, safety‑critical UX without human validation, ultra‑novel stimuli with no grounding context, or claims requiring lab measurement. For these, use our Human Bridge or traditional research.

Business & Security

What Happens to Our Data and Uploads?+

We use your uploads to run your tests and improve your private workspace performance. We do not sell your data or use it to train public models. Full DPAs and NDAs available.

How Do We Try This?+

Contact us to discuss your specific research needs. We'll work with you to design a solution that fits your team's requirements and timeline.

How Is Pricing Structured?+

Typically by workspace (users/markets) plus usage (volume of tests). Pilots are fixed‑fee. Enterprise packages include dedicated support and custom twin development.
