As GenAI advances, virtual panels are&nbsp;transforming the way data is generated in market research.&nbsp;They can replace or complement human panels&nbsp;in&nbsp;answering questions and&nbsp;participating&nbsp;in surveys and studies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0a639ed97a0ff3c82ebc2b939547a01e\">It should be noted that a virtual panel is&nbsp;not the same as&nbsp;synthetic data. Synthetic data simply means data that&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;generated by humans, typically using predictive models designed to fill gaps or augment datasets. These approaches are often based on traditional machine learning methods that have been used in market research&nbsp;for years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-de4c517cd5342f986c876993dceff2f0\">On the other hand, virtual panels use GenAI-powered &#8216;panelists&#8217; that are designed to behave like real respondents. Instead of predicting or completing answers, virtual panelists can engage with surveys&nbsp;just like real people.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.toluna-column54165_bdac90-8d >

large group of human respondents,&nbsp;researchers can generate equally valuable insights with virtual panels.&nbsp;Sophisticated LLMs trained on vast human datasets (e.g.&nbsp;OpenAI, Gemini)&nbsp;are capable of generating&nbsp;realistic and diverse answers to questions,&nbsp;participating&nbsp;in simulated discussions, and providing nuanced qualitative insights.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-24583d6925ae14fb9679341a764fbb9b\">Access to a truthful, authentic human panel has always been a limiting factor in large-scale market research studies. Virtual panels have the potential to eradicate this challenge, enabling researchers to obtain responses from niche panels in record time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-33658939df0cdfd634e6ae32f9a42251\">But while this approach offers several compelling advantages \u2013 like speed, scale, cost, and availability \u2013 it also brings multiple challenges. One such challenge is the representativeness and trust of the market.&nbsp;At the moment, the use of GenAI as a virtual panelist is not intended to completely replace humans, but rather to enhance traditional market research methods.&nbsp;It can serve as a powerful tool for rapid&nbsp;prototyping, concept testing, initial&nbsp;hypothesis generation, and exploring a range of scenarios before engaging human respondents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id54165_5a305d-91 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id54165_5a305d-91 >

of virtual panel innovation for many years now, which&nbsp;has contributed&nbsp;greatly to&nbsp;our suite of&nbsp;advanced&nbsp;offerings.&nbsp;We have developed a sophisticated AI agentic system, underpinned by extensive human data, that can emulate a real person taking a survey.&nbsp;This system is&nbsp;built on intelligent capabilities like scrolling, navigating complex matrix questions, interpreting image and video stimuli, and providing responses that align with distinct persona backgrounds,&nbsp;previous&nbsp;answers, and the latest real-world events.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-106cbe0a5afc0dd4bd32014fa5f99b63\">Our innovation has enabled us to create over 12\u00a0million unique\u00a0virtual personas, each with their own diverse demographic, profiling,\u00a0and psychological profiles.\u00a0Apart from being able to\u00a0participate\u00a0in surveys, these personas are also fully capable of mirroring genuine consumer behavior with over 80% correlation to human responses. In developing these personas, we have prioritized variability and representativeness, ensuring they can effectively supplement, or even replace, human participants.\u00a0Learn more about our personas\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tolunacorporate.com\/ai-and-innovation\/ai-is-everywhere\/harmonaize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-charged-magenta-color\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/mark><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9b093e77d4170a8fe15e5ef21e16182b\">Toluna&#8217;s&nbsp;virtual panel stands out for more reasons than one. Panelists can work as individual or cohort predictors, for both qualitative and quantitative research.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;a living, growing community: every day, we generate new panelists, tailoring each to the evolving needs of our clients.
