Still have questions about Archie AI Personas?

Explore our FAQs below to learn how they deliver faster, deeper audience insight.

How accurate are AI personas compared to traditional research?

Accuracy will always vary depending on the available training data. Conducting synthetic research with AI personas should always be done as a supplement to other research methodologies and human validation is critical. But when you need directional guidance quickly, AI personas can provide high-quality insights when there isn’t time to run a new focus group.

What kinds of audiences can Archie AI Personas simulate?

A key benefit of AI Personas is the ability to simulate even the most niche of stakeholder groups, as long as there is reliable data to train them on. At Edelman we’ve built models to help clients communicate to industry media, general population demographics and professional groups. We’ve also developed highly specialized personas based on historical behaviors, purchase habits, and trust indicators.

Can personas be used for sensitive or confidential communications?

Yes, this is a key use case for AI personas. When you need to test messaging and creative for a product launch or announcement that is embargoed, conducting synthetic research is a great way to predict responses without sharing confidential information. Our AI models are hosted on Edelman’s secure enterprise platform to ensure confidential data is kept safe.

How quickly can insights be delivered?

Training a new AI Persona can take a few weeks, depending on the data that is being used and the level of configuration needed. But once these personas have been created they can be used to turn around insights in a matter of minutes, giving you access to real-time analysis and message testing whenever you need it.
