What is Articos?
Articos is an online user research platform that uses artificial intelligence to generate synthetic audience feedback for product, marketing, and strategy decisions. Instead of recruiting human participants, the platform simulates interviews with synthetic personas calibrated through behavioral science frameworks, including the Big Five personality model, ACT-R memory modeling, and cognitive bias mapping. Articos conducts hypothesis-blind interviews to surface user motivations, objections, confusion points, and actionable recommendations in approximately 30 minutes. Across 46 studies in multiple domains, the platform captures 86% of the research themes identified by traditional research firms.
