An update on Artificial Societies and Reach - and what's next

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 there,

Thank you for being an early supporter of Artificial Societies. I'm reaching out with an important update about your Artificial Societies / Reach account.

Over the past year, we've learned that our technology is at its best when applied to the toughest research challenges - simulating executives, policymakers, and other audiences that traditional methods simply can't reach. The results have been extraordinary. We've now run over 150,000 simulations, built 2.5 million personas, and achieved 86% prediction accuracy validated against real-world surveys.

To keep pushing that quality forward, we've made the decision to provide bespoke services to larger organisations directly. This means we'll be discontinuing public access to the Artificial Societies platform (formerly the "Reach" platform) on Sunday, February 15th, 2026.

What this means for you

  • Public access to the platform will end on February 15th
  • You have until February 15th 11:59pm (GMT) to move any data out of the platform
  • If you have a subscription, you'll receive a pro-rated refund for any unused time from today (29th January) onwards
  • Refunds will be processed automatically to your original payment method
  • If you have an active trial, it will end on February 15th and you won't be charged

We're incredibly grateful for your support. Every test you ran and every piece of feedback you shared helped us get here.

If you're curious about what we're building next - enterprise simulations of high-value audiences for research that was previously impossible - we'd love to show you. Just reply to this email and we'll set up a demo.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

James, Patrick, and Tom

Happy 2026! After 65 weeks of weekly updates, we're moving to monthly cadence as we narrow focus to high-value enterprise problems under NDA — a sign of maturing, not slowing down.
