Minds: Synthetic Market Research Panels

ai.getminds/minds

Minds is a synthetic market research platform. The Minds MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP client run customer research end to end without leaving the assistant. Describe an audience in a brief ("German Gen Z grocery shoppers", "enterprise IT buyers in fintech") and the server runs deep web research to ground that audience in government statistics, peer-reviewed studies, and industry reports rather than in generic model priors. Then attach the Audience to a Study, run standalone questions or cohesive Question Blocks, and export the results. Typical jobs: - Concept testing and message testing before creative production - Ad pretesting, landing page audits, and packaging tests with per-segment reactions - Buyer persona validation and objection discovery for B2B go to market - Segment comparison and positioning checks across markets - Screening research hypotheses before commissioning fieldwork with real respondents Twenty-three tools cover Audience creation, Study creation, standalone questioning, Question Block planning, durable execution, whole-Study summaries, and export to PDF, CSV, XLSX, JSON, and Markdown. Studies run durably server side, so a long study survives the chat session that started it. Authentication is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, which ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and VS Code handle automatically, or a Minds API key passed as a bearer token. Scope: Minds does not replace representative human fieldwork. It replaces the slow first pass, sharpening the question, surfacing objections, and deciding which assumptions deserve real-respondent validation.
