February 2025 Update

This post is part of our monthly supporter updates and reflects product development and thinking at the time it was written. Here is our latest update.

Hi all,

Here's what's new this month from Artificial Societies:

We launched Reach

For the first time in history, anyone can create an AI simulation of their own community. Reach is a LinkedIn brand-building co-pilot that helps you test and refine posts before you publish. You sit at the centre, surrounded by AI personas of real people who engage with your posts. We identify not just how strongly connected your audience is with you, but also how connected they are with each other. You can click on any persona and chat with them directly.

We can already predict post engagement at 72–89% accuracy, compared with around 17% when asking ChatGPT. This is the beauty of simulating not just individuals, but also how people connect and influence each other.

Our first paying customers are in

We welcomed our first paying customers to Reach this month. We used Reach to optimise our own posts and gathered 80,000 views in 48 hours. Anthropic, 11x, and nine more companies are asking to use Reach for their company LinkedIn accounts.
