AI Focus Group

Use Tool

1 Drills

The AI Focus Group Next Tool is an innovative market research solution that leverages advanced AI technology to simulate diverse focus group discussions. By inputting a hypothesis, target audience, and optional location, users can instantly generate five AI personas with detailed profiles, including names, occupations, and psychological traits. These personas engage in a simulated conversation, providing both qualitative feedback in the form of "I like... I wish... I wonder" statements and quantitative "wanted scores" to evaluate the given hypothesis or idea. This tool offers rapid, scalable, and customizable research capabilities, delivering insights in minutes rather than weeks. It produces a full conversation transcript and a JSON summary of key findings, enabling quick analysis and decision-making. While not intended to replace traditional human-based research entirely, the AI Focus Group serves as a powerful complement to existing methods, allowing for rapid hypothesis testing, idea validation, and the exploration of diverse perspectives across various demographics and markets.
