What Are Simulated Surveys and How Do They Work?

Discover how AI-powered simulated market research works and why it's the fastest way to test your startup idea.

The Evolution of Market Research

Traditional surveys take weeks to set up and run. You write questions, recruit respondents, wait for responses, analyze data. By the time you have answers, your market has shifted.

Simulated surveys use AI and market-realistic personas to give you instant market feedback. You describe your idea, TestSynthia simulates how your target market would react.

How Simulated Surveys Work

Step 1: Define your target persona and market context.

Step 2: Input your value proposition, product positioning, or pricing question.

Step 3: AI simulates how diverse personas would react in a realistic market scenario.

Step 4: Get instant results with demographic breakdowns and sentiment analysis.

Why Simulated Data Is Reliable

Simulated personas are built on real market data, behavioral patterns, and demographic trends. They're not guesses—they're statistically informed representations of real market segments.

The results correlate strongly with traditional market research but deliver in minutes instead of weeks.

Use simulated surveys for fast iteration and validation. When you're ready to ship, validate with real customers.

When to Use Simulated Surveys

Validating a new idea or positioning: Get instant market feedback on your core hypothesis.

Testing multiple options: Compare how different value props, prices, or messages resonate.

Pre-launch optimization: Make data-driven decisions before your MVP launch.
