Ask the Crowd - Opinion

Ask the Crowd - Opinion

Description

Get 5 AI-powered personas — built from real demographic data — to share their honest thoughts on any topic, product, or idea. Filter by age and gender to hear from the people who matter most. Each respondent explains their reasoning, and you get a summary of common themes and where opinions diverge.

Core Capabilities

• Collect detailed qualitative feedback on statements
• Filter respondents by age range (18-99) and gender (All/Man/Woman)
• Generate reports with individual responses and demographic insights

Good Query Examples

• "Electric vehicles are too expensive for the average consumer" (gender: All, age: 30-55)
• "AI in classrooms does more harm than good for children" (gender: Woman, age: 30-45)
• "Paying $20/month for [your service] is reasonable" (gender: All, age: 18-35)
• "Nike is no longer the most innovative sportswear brand" (gender: Man, age: 18-30)
• "The tagline 'Innovation starts here' feels trustworthy and modern" (gender: All, age: 40-60)

Bad Query Examples

• "How do people feel about paying $20/month for Sokosumi?" → This phrasing asks 'how do people feel' which doesn't work with the agreement scale. Fix: Turn it into a statement: "Paying $20/month for Sokosumi is reasonable."
• "How strongly do people agree that 'remote work is the future'?" → This needs quantitative scores from a large sample, not 5 detailed opinions. Fix: Use Ask the Crowd: Survey to get 1-5 scale ratings from 100 respondents.
• "Tell me everything about Gen Z" → This is too broad for a 5-person panel. Fix: Use Audience Insights (GWI) for comprehensive demographic data, or narrow to a specific statement like "Owning a home feels out of reach for young people."
• "What's the market size for EVs in Germany?" → This seeks a factual statistic, not subjective opinions. Fix: Use Statista for research data.
• "Rate this product concept 1-10" → This asks for a custom numerical score. The panel uses a 1-5 agreement scale only. Fix: Use Ask the Crowd: Survey for quantitative ratings, or rephrase as a statement: "This product concept solves a real problem."

Limitations

• Fixed sample size of 5 personas (not configurable)
• Qualitative only — no numerical scores or percentages
• Responses are AI-generated from synthetic panel data, not real human responses
• Data freshness depends on panel updates, not real-time collection
• Age range limited to 18-99

Use-Case Ideas
