What it does

Articos is a browser-based AI user research platform. You describe what you want to learn, and it generates a panel of synthetic personas, interviews them without showing them your hypothesis, and returns a structured research report in about 30 minutes, with no participants to recruit. Teams use it for audience discovery, concept validation, message testing and A/B tests of landing pages. Articos says its findings matched 86% of the themes expert research teams found across 46 studies; that figure comes from its own validation.

Features

  • Synthetic user interviews. Articos generates personas from the Big Five personality model with 30 facets, calibrated across 93 countries, and interviews each one in isolation without revealing your hypothesis. Official source 1 ↗
  • Panels built to disagree. Every panel mixes champions, pragmatists, skeptics, blockers and observers, and a scoring check flags any persona that simply agrees with everything. Official source 1 ↗
  • Message and A/B testing. Besides interviews, a study can test messaging variants or compare landing pages: you upload the variants and get structured audience reactions. Official source 1 ↗
  • Structured, exportable reports. Each study ends in a report covering motivations, objections, confusion points, language patterns and prioritised recommendations, with evidence chains and confidence scores. Reports export to PDF; Pro and Enterprise can remove Articos branding. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
  • Talk to Research follow-ups. After a study, you can return to any persona and ask follow-up questions. Starter includes 2 queries per research; Pro is unlimited. Official source 1 ↗
  • Live voice calls with personas. You can hold a real-time voice conversation with any persona from your panel; calls draw on your plan's credits. Official source 1 ↗
  • Articos MCP. Run message, positioning or landing-page tests from inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Gemini; these studies use the same credits as studies in the platform. Official source 1 ↗

  • Synthetic participants, not real users. Articos positions itself as a complement to live interviews for early, directional research; real-user interviews remain better for deep emotional nuance and unexpected edge cases. Official source 1 ↗
