Our take
Electric Twin is a company utilising large language models to simulate human behaviour. Through its LLM models, users can create synthetic populations that represent their target markets or research demographics in order to investigate outcomes in near real-time and make more informed decisions.
The company supplies a range of investigative tools; from qualitative polling and quantitative analysis, to simulated focus groups or even one-on-one discussions. It also enables ideas to be continuously refined through strong feedback, ensuring that strategy can always be backed by the latest data.
With such a unique proposition, Electric Twin stands out as one to watch in the rapidly developing generative AI sector. It is currently working to build out its team and, if its models are able to deliver the value suggested, there will surely be no shortage of success in its future.
