Toluna, the global insights leader, has announced expanded availability of its industry-leading synthetic personas, now covering 15 markets and 9 languages, providing access to thousands more clients worldwide. With more than one million unique personas already created, Toluna is setting a new benchmark for AI-driven research, empowering brands to test ideas, claims, messages, flavors, or other product features at unprecedented scale and speed.

Toluna’s solutions leveraging synthetic personas are available on demand within the Toluna Start insights platform. Each persona reflects a realistic life history, with deep layers of demographics and profile attributes as well as psychological attitudes and motivations, enriched with recent world knowledge. Each persona has the ability to deliver consistent, human-like responses to questions or media stimuli across studies. Uniquely, Toluna’s synthetic personas are constantly created in real time to match precise sample needs and unlock a new era of limitless AI-driven research.

Unlike solutions that replicate “average” segment responses, Toluna’s personas mimic individual human survey-takers. They are built from anonymized, first-party data sourced from Toluna’s global community of 79 million human participants and include rich demographic, psychographic, lifestyle, and consumption attributes. These category-defining synthetic personas can ‘see’, ‘hear’ and react to dynamic stimulus like TV ads and online video through the lens of their distinct persona composition. When combined with their ability to demonstrate emotional and rational instincts plus intelligent reasoning, the result is higher fidelity outputs and richer insight for decision-making.

“Brands want speed and scale without sacrificing quality and trust,” said Frédéric-Charles Petit, CEO of Toluna. “By combining unmatched persona individuality with the speed and scale of AI, we enable brands to test as many ideas in as many markets as they desire, as quickly as they can imagine them. Decision-ready intelligence is available in hours rather than weeks. This is the future of insights, and it is available today.”

Petit added: “This expansion advances the multi-year AI strategy we’ve been executing. Rapid claims testing and screening are only the beginning, with additional synthetic-persona-driven solutions and self-serve capabilities on the way. Together, these advances give clients speed and scale with trust at global reach, marking the start of a beyond-limits era in research.”

Toluna’s synthetic personas are live in UK, US, Australia, Singapore, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Netherlands, Italy, and France, with Spain, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand coming online in the weeks ahead.
