A new level of value from survey data

Read Your Research More Deeply — Without Starting Over

Every quantitative study contains more information than the tables that were originally produced. Chat with your Data helps you explore the questions that came later.

Get more from every study

Read between the lines of survey data and findings to uncover additional relationships, ideas and depth beyond the original analysis.

Keep the evidence in view

AI generates the interpretation, while the underlying survey data provides the evidence and the basis for evaluating what holds.

Know what to research next

Turn promising findings into hypotheses and focused questions for interviews, focus groups or new quantitative research with real respondents.

The opportunity

Your study answered the questions you asked. What about the questions that came later?

A study can contain hundreds of variables that were never examined together. The insight you need may already be in the data — just not in the tables you had time to build.

Field it again

Another wave, more time and another budget conversation.

Answer from experience

A plausible interpretation goes into the debrief without evidence underneath it.

Drop the question

The client question gets postponed because the original study was not designed to answer it.

“The follow-up question may already be answerable — if you go back to the data you have already collected.”

Chat with your Data is designed to make that exploration faster and more systematic.

What is Chat with your Data?

Have a conversation with a quantitative study you have already run

This is AI survey analysis built around the research you have already conducted — a conversational way to explore survey data without pretending that generated answers are new respondents.

Chat with your Data lets researchers explore completed survey data conversationally. Ask a question of a segment, explore an individual respondent’s record, or run a topic-driven discussion across selected respondents.

01
Chat with your segments

Explore a segment using the responses of its full base. Ask follow-up questions about preferences, behaviors, relationships and differences without creating synthetic respondents.

02
Explore individual respondents

Like an in-depth interview

Ask follow-up questions of a respondent record using the answers they actually provided. Measured and inferred material is kept distinct.

03
Run a topic-driven discussion

Like a focus group

Set a topic and agenda, then explore it across selected respondents using the quantitative study as the foundation for a qualitative-style conversation.

A product evaluation shows the answer, its evidence and how the interpretation was assessed against the underlying survey data.

How it works

Four steps from existing research data to new insight

Our segmentation methodologies have been applied across a wide range of industries, helping organizations uncover customer needs, improve targeting strategies, and drive more informed business decisions.

01

Load the study

Bring in a completed quantitative study and its supporting data structure.

02

Choose who to explore

Work with a segment, an individual respondent or a selected group.

 

03

Ask in plain English

Ask follow-up questions just as you would in an exploratory research conversation.

04

Review the evaluation

See what the answer connects, what evidence supports it and where further investigation is warranted.

Example: deeper survey data analysis

One question connected two measures nobody had analyzed together

In the Solvane demo study, a researcher asked one segment of 337 respondents a simple question. The resulting answer connected two questions from a study containing 628 substantive variables.

7.4%
named Solvane their top-choice TV brand
35.9%
named the same brand their top-choice streaming device
The deeper insight: the same respondents who rarely chose the brand as their TV preferred it as their streaming device — a relationship a single crosstab would not necessarily surface.

Solvane demo study, n=337. These figures belong to the demo study, not to the product generally.

See the conversation in action

A topic-driven discussion can bring together responses from selected respondents and surface common themes, differences and areas worth investigating further.

Example of a topic-driven discussion mapped into themes, agreements and areas of disagreement.

From insight to creative: two segments, two ads

The same “ideal streaming device ad copy” study produced different creative direction depending on which segment was asked — showing how Chat with your Data’s output can inform actual ad development, not just reporting.

Segment: reliability-first

Built from respondents who prioritized function over features and rejected hype language.

Segment: sports / lifestyle-forward

Built from respondents who responded to proof shown through live footage and bold headline framing.

What the insights report looks like

What the added depth means

Move from “what happened?” toward “what might explain it?”

A segment conversation shows the answer, cited survey questions and reasoning across the underlying quantitative data.

The value is not another summary of the percentages you already have. It is the ability to connect measures, ask follow-up questions and surface hypotheses that deserve further attention.

None of this competes with the analysis you already do. It extends it — using the same study to find additional questions worth exploring.

A different approach to AI market research

Use AI with your research data — not instead of it

Chat with your Data does not manufacture a research sample. It works with the respondents and measurements already present in your study.

Synthetic respondent approach

AI creates simulated participants to answer questions that were never asked of real respondents.

Creates a synthetic sample
May introduce opinions not measured in the study
Useful for a different set of research questions

Chat with your Data

AI explores the study you already ran and keeps the interpretation grounded in the evidence that study collected.

Uses your existing respondent data
Explores questions across the measures already collected
Points toward hypotheses to confirm with real people

Why you can rely on it

Validated, verified and grounded in the actual data.

The goal is not to make AI sound certain. The goal is to make it clear what the data supports, what is an extrapolation and what needs to be tested with real respondents.

Evidence stays attached to the answer

AI creates simulated participants to answer questions that were never asked of real respondents.

Structured answers identify the survey questions they rest on.
Measured findings and inferred interpretations are distinguished.
Unsupported references are not presented as evidence.

A separate evaluation checks the reasoning

AI explores the study you already ran and keeps the interpretation grounded in the evidence that study collected.

A separate critic role evaluates the answer against the study data.
Depth and plausibility are scored for structured answers.
Contradictions can be surfaced rather than hidden.

From insight to action

Use AI insights to make follow-up research more effective

Chat with your Data is not a replacement for interviews, focus groups or new fieldwork. It helps you decide which questions are worth taking to real respondents next.

Promising findings can become explicit hypotheses, suggested methods and outcomes that would confirm or disprove the idea.

Worth confirming

The existing data already points in this direction. Design focused research to confirm it.

Worth testing

The interpretation goes beyond what was directly measured. Take it to real people before relying on it.

Already settled

The existing study already answers the question. Do not spend money researching what you already know.

Where it can be applied

One idea, many quantitative research use cases

From segmentation deep-dives to follow-up questions on an existing study, Chat with your Data brings AI quantitative research into the analysis stage — helping teams get more value from research data they already own.

The core idea is simple: use AI to get more value from a study that has already been conducted. Applications can include segment deep dives, brand and product findings, conjoint or TURF audiences, charts and other groups of interest where the underlying data supports the question.

Segments

Deep-dive into groups of interest

Explore why a segment behaves the way it does and identify relationships worth validating.

Quantitative studies

Ask the follow-up question

Go beyond the original analysis to examine questions that emerged after the study was completed.

Next research

Turn findings into hypotheses

Use AI exploration to focus interviews, focus groups and subsequent quantitative research.

Get more out of every study you run.

Bring a completed quantitative study and see how Chat with your Data can uncover additional questions, insights and hypotheses — grounded in the research you already have.

What Our Clients Say

President
small research firm
Work has only just finished and landed well! I appreciated the way you guys were able to flex on the project and give me a few different types of outputs. We ended up using them all in some way or another. Your outputs were easy to use too! Will definitely reach out the next time a need arises!
Senior project manager
The project went well overall, with the client finding the insights we pulled from the simulator actionable. The process of receiving the simulator files (and updated files as we found adjustments needed) was very efficient, with Grant very helpful along the way.
Senior project manager
Overall this project went really well from our perspective. We appreciate the quick turnaround on the deliverables and appreciate the team for helping us address the client's concerns and explaining the methodological details.
Senior project director
I regrouped with the team and we all agree that the process was very smooth! The team appreciates how helpful you are in aiding us in answering the client's technical questions, how you make sure the analyses will answer the client's business objectives, and just how flexible you are with timing. Thank you for your partnership on this one!
Consultant
Thanks for the follow up on this. As always, it is great working with you and your team. I really have no complaints about this projects, especially as it was a rush for Q4… we got it done and the client was super satisfied.
Research manager
The process was super efficient and the communication super clear. Thanks again and looking forward to working with the team in the future!
Partner
The [client] price laddering was super smooth. We like this addition to questionnaire when clients want a little toe dip into pricing but can't really do a full fledged pricing study. I honestly felt like everything went great and can't think of improvements on this one.

Frequently asked questions

Questions researchers are likely to ask

These answers also explain where AI survey analysis fits in the research workflow, what the tool does with existing data, and where human follow-up research still matters.

1. What is Chat with your Data?

Chat with your Data is an AI-powered market research analysis service that lets researchers explore completed quantitative studies conversationally, including segments, respondent records and topic-driven discussions.

No. It works from respondents and measurements already present in the study. The generated conversation is not presented as a real person or as a new sample.

Yes. The service is designed to explore existing quantitative survey data, connect measures and uncover additional insights that may not have been part of the original analysis.

No. A respondent voice is built from a real respondent’s record, but the conversation is generated. It should not be treated as a verbatim interaction with that person.

Structured answers can carry the survey question IDs they rely on, and a separate evaluation role checks the reasoning against the underlying survey data. The interface distinguishes supported findings from extrapolation.

 

No. It is intended to make follow-up research more focused. It helps identify hypotheses and questions worth confirming with real respondents rather than replacing that research.

The service is intended for completed quantitative studies and can be used for segment deep dives and other groups or findings where the underlying study contains the measures needed to support the question. Specific applications should be confirmed for the study during a walkthrough.

It is designed for market research firms and corporate insight teams that want to get more value from quantitative research they have already conducted.
