For independent, boutique & in-house qualitative researchers

Dozens of synthetic interviews for a fraction of fieldwork cost

Pressure-test your study dozens of times before you fund the real one.

QualiSynth generates and interviews the psychometrically-grounded synthetic consumers your study needs, so you can refine guides, messages and segments as many times as it takes — for roughly a tenth of what real pre-research costs, in minutes rather than days or weeks — and take only the validated version to real fieldwork.

You build the panel from your brief — self-serve. In the platform you set the brief, audience and interview guide; QualiSynth generates the synthetic respondents, interviews them conversationally, and shows the evidence behind every theme. No account managers, no waiting — you run it yourself. It is not transcript analysis: it creates the respondents, it does not process yours.

Back-tested against real-world survey data (World Values Survey) — and hybrid mode audits human-synthetic convergence, theme by theme.We publish our research methods as working papers on SSRN.

Teams walk into the briefing with secondary data and assumptions — because real pre-interviews cost as much as the study itself, so you only get one shot at it.

Testing it yourself with QualiSynth
Run it in 30 minutes, as many times as you need, at ~10% the cost

Segmented synthetic respondents, transcripts you can quote, evidence-linked themes and an agency-grade deliverable — iterate the guide, message and segments before a cent goes to real fieldwork.

Use cases

More than pre-research: pressure-test anything you would normally take to a focus group.

Same engine, different study object. Put a value proposition, message or concept in front of your target consumer and see how they read it — directionally, before you spend on live testing.

FAQ

Clear answers for agency leads evaluating the platform.

Can we upload our own transcripts?

That is possible in hybrid workflows, but it is not the core. The core is generating and interviewing synthetic consumers from your brief — and showing the evidence behind every theme.

How many synthetic respondents can you run?

From a focused pre-research cohort to several hundred in a single study (our largest to date ran 217). We are qualitative — for statistical significance at N>500, keep your quant panel.

How do you validate the synthetic respondents?

Every conversation is scored with SHQI — 12 deterministic metrics — plus an overall quality verdict that adds two LLM-scored dimensions (naturalness and guide adherence), so you know exactly which part is deterministic and which is not. In hybrid mode the same guide runs on humans to show convergence per theme; live per-study human comparison is rolling out, with our population back-test (World Values Survey) as today's human grounding.

Is QualiSynth a survey tool?

No. It is built for conversational qualitative research, not static form collection. We run interviews with follow-ups and context capture.

Is the report editable?

Yes. We generate agency-grade PPTX with native charts — editable in PowerPoint or Keynote. The PDF is for executive distribution. Plus JSON / CSV exports for downstream analysis.

Should we trust synthetic respondents?

Treat them as a fast, directional complement — not a replacement for every human validation. In hybrid mode you see how synthetic mention rates and themes align with humans on the same metrics, with evidence traceable to transcripts.
