Traditional market research is slow, expensive, and often wrong. We built CrowdProof to give you something different: a view of a running crowd. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live.
The problem with market research is not that it exists. It is that by the time you get results, the moment has passed.
You spend weeks designing surveys. You pay panels for responses. You wait for reports. And when the data finally arrives, you are left with a spreadsheet of percentages that tells you what people said they would do, not what they actually do when the moment comes.
We built CrowdProof because we believed there was a better way.
The Gap Between Saying and Doing
Traditional research asks people to predict their own behavior. "Would you buy this product?" "How do you feel about this announcement?" "Rate your likelihood to recommend."
The problem is that humans are terrible at self-prediction. We say we want healthy food, then order pizza. We claim we hate clickbait, then click anyway. We tell researchers what we think they want to hear, or what makes us sound good, or what we genuinely believe in the moment but will forget by tomorrow.
Real reactions happen in context. They happen when you are scrolling your feed and see a headline. When a friend shares something and you have three seconds to form an opinion before someone else responds. When you are tired, distracted, or just looking for something to be mad about.
No survey captures this.
Watching Changes Everything
CrowdProof does not ask people what they think. It shows you what a crowd does.
You input your content, a product announcement, pricing change, marketing message, anything you want to test. Then you watch as a running crowd reacts. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. They post. They debate. They can cluster into camps. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. Posts can be amplified or ignored. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. They can change their minds or dig in. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live.
Watch a running crowd. When the crowd finishes you get a synthesis report. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. A stopped or failed run has no report.
We call this interface God Mode. On a running crowd, God Mode shows every agent as a particle in a 3D space, clustering with others who share their views. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. On a running crowd, you read their posts in a familiar social feed format. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. On a running crowd, sentiment shifts as factions form and evolve. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live.
On a running crowd you can pause and inject new information. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run cannot pause or inject. See how a simulated crowd responds to breaking news or counter-narratives.
What Makes Our Agents Different
Most AI tools give you a single, sanitized response. Ask ChatGPT what people think about your idea, and you get one opinion dressed up as consensus.
Real crowds are messier. They have optimists and skeptics, early adopters and laggards, people who share everything and people who lurk. They have disagreements, coalitions, and viral moments.
CrowdProof agents are built on the OCEAN personality model. Each agent has Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism scores. An agent's posts can stay consistent with their personality and context.
On a running crowd, a high-openness agent can be more open to new ideas. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. On a running crowd, a high-neuroticism agent can raise concerns about downsides. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. On a running crowd, a high-extraversion agent can post more and seek engagement. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. Put them all together, and you get a crowd that behaves like a crowd, not a focus group.
Why Now
You can preview a product launch, a pricing change, marketing copy, or a PR crisis with a simulated crowd.
A scored run can be compared with real reactions on /accuracy. Unscored runs stay illustrations. They are not identified findings from customer launches.
This is not magic. It is the result of careful modeling of human psychology combined with the emergent behavior of agent interaction. And it is ready for you to try.
What Comes Next
Buy one CrowdProof simulation for $29: 500 people, 20 rounds, 3 platforms. A finished-crowd report can show the strongest points for and against, and the messages that resonated, when any did. A stopped or failed run has no report. Monthly plans stay available when you need a seat.
We are just getting started. Team and Enterprise can run a paired A/B. Enterprise can create, retrieve, and export with a key. Live stream and inject stay in God Mode. More audience presets remain on the roadmap. But the core experience is here now: a window into how a simulated crowd reacts. Score a finished run against real-world responses on /accuracy. Unscored runs stay illustrations. Larger crowds take longer.
Test your ideas with a simulated crowd. That is CrowdProof.
