Synthetic Focus Group
Pitch your ideas to AI agents with varying personalities to generate human like consensus
About the project
Synthetic Focus Group gives you feedback on any idea in minutes, from a panel that looks like the world.
You pitch an idea, and Gemini recruits a diverse panel of AI personas. Each one has its own age, country, culture, personality and economic situation, assigned independently and checked for stereotypes. They give private first impressions, then debate the idea with a moderator in a pixel-art meeting room. You watch both what they say and what they privately think. Opinions shift only when someone is persuaded, so the group reaches human-like consensus: a shared statement with its support level, plus an honest record of who still disagrees. Each persona then scores the idea, and you get a report on objections, mind changes, reactions by income level and recommendations.
Built with Gemini, FastAPI, ElevenLabs voices, MongoDB Atlas and a hand-drawn canvas pixel engine.
