October 2024 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.

Hello from SF (and back in London)!

At Artificial Societies, we are building the future of market research with collectives of AI personas that simulate consumer behaviour. Here's what's new this month:

Our prototype is now fully automated

Simply enter a description of your target audience and a message or two you want to test. Our system will research the audience, create 300 bespoke AI personas, and let them socialise into an Artificial Society. We then survey and interview all 300, run an A/B test of your messages across the society, and deliver both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Traditional methods take around two months; we email results in 15 minutes. The prototype has already been used over 120 times — and we've been using it ourselves to refine our own pitch deck.

"The most exciting idea of SF tech week"

We spent SF tech week sharing what we've built and getting people to try our prototype. The response was overwhelming. Some even called us "the most exciting idea of SF tech week."

What's Next

Thanks to the encouragement from our angels and supporters we are now applying to YC W25! After all, we are building a brand new category in the market, and addressing a combined opportunity of $100+ billion USD.

Why are people so excited about Artificial Societies? Because this is a paradigm shift in how businesses understand stakeholders.
