Atypica.ai: 100x Faster, 100x Broader, 1/100 the Cost — The Future of Consumer Research
What’s the oldest question in market research?
What’s on the consumer’s mind?
Every year, companies spend more than $140 billion chasing that answer. Out of this pursuit, giants like McKinsey, Ipsos, Qualtrics, and Medallia were born.
But 2025 feels like a turning point.
On August 5, Gartner’s stock dropped 30% in a single day—its biggest fall since 1999. McKinsey announced just 2% annual growth and cut 10% of staff in two years. The message from capital markets is clear: the traditional, labor-heavy model of research has hit structural limits.
This isn’t a temporary wobble. It’s a paradigm shift.
AI doesn’t just accelerate data collection and analysis—it creates digital twins of consumers, runs virtual focus groups, and generates always-on insights.
That’s why we built Atypica.AI.
🔹 Paradigm shift: 4 phases of market research
According to recent studies from a16z, Greylock, and Sequoia, research is moving from sampling → simulation, from episodic projects → continuous analysis. Cost, speed, and coverage are being rewritten.
🔹 Research as business infrastructure
Business now runs on faster cycles—marketing by the day, product innovation by the month. Research can’t move on an annual rhythm anymore.
With Atypica, research becomes infrastructure:
AI-native research: automated workflows, faster, larger scale.
AI-simulated users: multi-agent models of consumer behavior, values, and decisions.
Atypica’s value proposition:
Making market research 100x cheaper, 100x faster, and 100x broader in user coverage.
🔹 The three-layer AI system
AI Persona: from survey “answers” to modeling consumers’ subjective worlds (memory, reflection, planning).
AI Interview: humans interviewing AI personas, AI interviewing humans, even AI interviewing AI—running virtual focus groups 24/7.
AI Research: organizing raw data, running causal models, auto-generating reports with insights you can share and replay.
🔹 What happens when research is 100x cheaper, 100x faster, 100x broader?
Research shifts from episodic to always-on.
Every business decision can invite a real-time, representative consumer perspective.
Payment shifts from “projects and billable hours” to subscription infrastructure—like cloud computing.
But remember: when data is abundant, the real luxury is wisdom. Good questions and good hypotheses become the new competitive moat.
Let’s take a look at how Atypica users are putting the product to work.
At Atypica, we’re building research for this new world. Always-on. AI-native. Consumer insights as reliable as water, electricity, and the cloud.
