HDTwin - Next Generation of Social Research

Rethinking Focus Groups

HDTwin™ is disrupting traditional market and social research by delivering faster, scalable, and unbiased insights through a panel of highly configurable A.I. agents, including synthetic personas, domain experts, contractual parties, customer and stakeholder simulations. With a patent-pending proprietary technology, virtual panels are fine tuned with data from real-world field researches to guarantee alignment of digital twins to real-world panels.

The Problem

Gathering people's opinions is difficult and inefficient

⊘Group dynamics & bias
Responses are influenced by dominant participants. People are often not fully honest in their responses.
⊘Inefficient question selection
Difficult to craft optimal surveys: the way questions are asked influences the answers.
⊘Compliance & privacy
The regulations that protect people's privacy and dignity limit the range of opinions that can be collected.
⊘Time & cost
Traditional research takes weeks and requires significant investment

How It Works

1

Define a Topic

Describe the focus of your group discussion.

2

Compose Your Panel

Select a panel of Human Digital Twins to discuss your topic.

3

Run Synthetic Surveys

Automate the gathering of Human Digital Twins' opinions through recursive polls.

4

Analyze Results

Get actionable data, detect opinion groups, discover the statements with the most consensus.

An HDTwin virtual panel can replicate the characteristics of any population: universe, non-customers, customers, shareholders, employees...

Virtual panels can be initialized in two ways: 1) with a (as accurate as possible) description of the target population, or 2) with an existing survey on a physical panel. The second method ensures maximum alignment between the results obtained from HDTwin and those obtainable from a traditional survey on a physical panel.

In other words, you only need one survey on a physical panel to train the Digital Twins, on which you can conduct an unlimited number of surveys. The initialization phase takes just a few working hours.

The traditional way of working requires that, to carry out n surveys, you need to do n surveys/focus groups, with related time and costs. Thanks to HDTwin, instead, to carry out n surveys you only need at most one training survey and then you can conduct any number of surveys on the digital twins.

HDTwin™ is a technology developed by LinkedData.Center (patent pending) that combines symbolic artificial intelligence techniques with large language models (Neural-symbolic A.I.).

HDTwin produces analytical evidence on the model of each individual agent (explainable AI) and is fully compliant with the EU AI Act and GDPR.
