How Sapien works

  1. Real consumer data

    We combine purchase histories, behavioral data, demographics, surveys and public conversations to model consumer choices. Your customer data and past research can add context.

  2. The people you need to understand

    We build an AI population that reflects your audience’s demographics, buying habits, needs and priorities. Study an entire market or focus on a specific group.

  3. Your questions and ideas

    Put your product concepts, prices, messages or research questions to the population. Compare different versions to see what changes the response.

  4. What they would choose, and why

    Get predicted choices and explanations for each audience. See how results differ by segment and which changes improve the outcome.
