Innovative Tool Revolutionizes Primary Research by Generating Diverse, Realistic Responses to Surveys in Minutes
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2024 / Avenue Group - a leading strategy and research firm - is excited to announce the launch of the beta phase of its groundbreaking AI-powered Audience Simulator. This state-of-the-art technology is set to revolutionize the way market researchers, consultants, and brands conduct research by generating diverse and realistic responses to surveys and interviews in just minutes, enabling deeper insights while also saving organizations time and money.
The Avenue Group Audience Simulator
Conducting research using traditional panels can be challenging due to time-consuming tasks, high costs, difficulty in finding niche segments, participant fatigue, and bias. The Avenue Group Audience Simulator addresses these problems, unlocking new ways to conduct effective research for fast and effortless insights.
Powered by generative AI, the simulator can emulate specific individuals' tones, personalities, expertise, and even sense of humor, enabling the simulation of responses from hundreds or thousands of people. This technology is based on the extensive knowledge of ChatGPT, developed with proprietary technology, and optimized using real-world interviews and surveys.
"Having faced numerous challenges in conducting research, we designed the Audience Simulator to tackle the most persistent pain points in primary research," explains Jeremy Greenberg, Founder of Avenue Group. "This tool revolutionizes the way we gather and analyze data, offering researchers rapid, in-depth insights that were previously unimaginable, streamlining processes and significantly cutting costs."

Built on Leading Academic Research
The Audience Simulator builds off a body of academic research showcasing the promise of AI for research from Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where one of our advisors serves as a leading AI Researcher.
"Generative AI is revolutionizing market research, facilitating rapid iterations of surveys and responses that allow us to collect data more quickly and gain deeper insights from the outset.," said Lennart Meincke, AI Researcher at Wharton and Advisor at Avenue Group. "I'm enthusiastic about the trajectory Avenue Group is on and all the potential applications of their Audience Simulator product."
Does it Really Work? Survey Says…
"The first question we hear from prospective customers is, ‘Does it work?'," said Jason Shore, Head of Product at Avenue Group. "We've compared to a wide range of real human research studies, and we've found that our simulated responses mirror human responses well, quantitatively and qualitatively. And you can do things with simulated responders you just can't do with people - ask follow-ups after a survey has ended, for example, or even ‘adjust' attributes like the town they live in or their income level to get more control over your study."

Does this Replace Humans?
"We believe in the immense power of conducting human research," said Jeremy Greenberg. "This tool does not replace that but makes it more powerful."
The Audience Simulator can be used in two ways as add-ons to improve your research:
- Conduct a pre-test just like you would do for a soft launch of a regular survey. This allows you to preview results quickly, adjust language to fit your audience, increase respondent engagement, prune out low value topics, and hone in on high value topics.
- Unlock new research in cases where you would not or cannot perform human studies. In cases where human research is not feasible, this allows you to conduct high volume research, test proprietary concepts discreetly, gut check hypotheses quickly, get input on potential M & A transactions, and run scenario testing.
