We build the most accurate synthetic
audiences so you can immediately
understand what people believe and simulate
how they'll respond to any message.
Our human-validated synthetic audiences deliver research-grade accuracy in
more than 70 countries,
with government-level security, at a fraction of the cost of conventional research.
Different people see and respond to the same things differently.
A message that inspires one audience alienates another. This isn't a failure of messaging, it's a failure to understand the beliefs, values, and identity that shape how different people interpret the same information. Every audience carries a mental framework that filters what resonates and what doesn't.
Methods for understanding what people think are slow and costly.
Crises unfold in real-time. Corrective measures need to start immediately. Yet the research required to understand audience perception takes weeks and costs thousands. By the time you have answers, the moment has passed and the damage is done. The world doesn't wait for your focus group to finish.
AI models are logically accurate but lack emotional resonance.
Our brains feel before they think. Primary decision-making happens in the limbic system, not the prefrontal cortex. But generative AI operates in reverse: optimizing for logical coherence while lacking the emotional and cultural signals that actually drive human decisions. This is the resonance gap.
We built foundation mapping to model how meaning is made.
Foundation mapping is our proprietary methodology for modeling the cognitive dimensions that influence how people make decisions: what they believe, what they value, what goals they're pursuing, what stance they take, and who they trust.
When different people encounter the same message, they decode it through these culturally and psychologically specific frames. The same words activate entirely different meaning-making chains depending on the audience. We model these patterns computationally across 70+ countries, continuously enriched with current events, cultural shifts, and emerging trends.
Our models are calibrated against real human survey data, so every simulation comes with margin of error and explainability, not just a score. This continuous validation loop is why the world's most influential organizations trust our synthetic audiences to communicate effectively.
Three capabilities. One platform.
Available via MCP, SaaS, or API.
Synthetic Response
Real-time scoring to know what people believe about any issue or topic and whether your message, content, or idea will resonate. Evaluate everything.
Synthetic Research
Simulate focus groups, surveys, and audience studies at machine speed, with research-grade accuracy. Days of fieldwork compressed into minutes.
Synthetic Labels
Synthetic training data generated at scale, used to train models on how real people think. Make your models and agents more emotionally intelligent.
Limbik substantially outperforms other methods and providers for predicting how audiences will respond to messages, brands, and policy positions. Explore research →
Validation: Brand Perception
Limbik human-validated synthetic audiences were 4.5× more accurate than Claude Opus 4.6 and 3.8× more accurate than GPT 5.2 when evaluating brand perception. GPT and Claude were tested with persona-conditioned prompting and exposure to historical survey data.
Validation: Presidential Approval
Limbik human-validated synthetic audiences averaged just 3.60 percentage points from Gallup's standard polling instruments, covering presidential job approval, leadership attributes, and national satisfaction.
Validation: Geopolitical Tensions
Limbik's human-validated synthetic audiences delivered an overall mean absolute error (MAE) of 9.09% across 124 questions and 22 demographic segments in a low-data Eastern European country.

The AI models you're using reflect training data distributions, not population reality. They lack the demographic weighting, belief modeling, and cultural calibration necessary to distinguish how different people process the same information through fundamentally different mental frameworks.
Our human-validated synthetic audiences generate high-resonance prompt-response pairs and foundation-mapped profiles to teach your models how to behave like the audiences you care about most. Explore leaderboards →
