Most teams don’t replace surveys with AI panels.
They replace… nothing. The research never happened in the first place.

Why?

• The idea was too early.

• The audience was too hard to reach.

• The budget was already spent.

• The timeline didn’t allow for a proper study.

As a result, decisions happen without data or worse, with the wrong data. AI panels are designed to fill these gaps, not overhaul your entire process.

What Exactly Is an AI Panel?

Let’s be clear. AI panels aren’t just another GenAI productivity tool.
They’re not chatbots, note-takers, or summarizers.

An AI panel is a synthetic population built to mimic real-world human decisions.
It’s trained on behavioral theory, demographic structures, and real data. And it’s ready to test, compare, and simulate consumer responses, instantly.

Why Now? Because the Questions Changed

The way we research hasn’t kept up with the way we build, market, and decide.
Launch cycles are faster. Stakeholder expectations are higher. But research still thinks in fieldwork blocks and quarterly timelines.

AI panels shift the model:

• Ask before the brainstorm.

• Test after the campaign.

• Simulate the segment you can’t afford to survey.

• Run a dry test when you “just want a feel for it.”

It’s not about replacing traditional studies. It’s about putting research where it never existed before.

Human Research Isn’t Dead. It’s Just Evolving.

We still need ethnographies, in-depth interviews, and cultural insight.
But we also need tools that can scale with our questions.

AI panels don’t replace humans.
They support them by handling the repetitive, early-stage, or politically tricky stuff:

• What if we asked this question differently?

• How would a skeptical Gen Z react?

• What messaging would trigger backlash?

These aren’t always questions you can ask a real person. But they’re perfect for synthetic panels trained on the right variables.

Simulation, Not Speculation: Meet Your Future Consumer

With AI panels, you don’t just capture sentiment.
You simulate scenarios, even with future-facing segments like "Consumer 2030."

Want to test a sustainability claim, a policy idea, or a controversial launch?
You can simulate how tomorrow’s consumer might react, today. It’s like time-travel for researchers, minus the DeLorean.

Okay, But Is It Research-Grade?

We get it.
Plenty of tools promise “AI research,” but deliver little more than GPT with a survey wrapper.

That’s why we built Lakmoos differently.

🧠 Not just text generation
We model behavior, not just language. Our AI panels are grounded in demographic realism, sampling logic, and behavioral theory.

🛠 Built for enterprise research
Yes, you can run it in minutes. But it’s also defensible in front of your CMO, your compliance lead, or your client.

🤝 Aligned with ESOMAR standards
In fact, we’ve answered all 20 questions in the ESOMAR AI Buyer’s Guide. Here’s how we compare.

🔒 So what now?

• Missed a research window? Run a dry test retroactively.

• Need a sanity check before going live? Simulate the backlash.

• Want to benchmark against your last quant study? Feed it in.
