PRODUCT PROFILE

About this product

Toluna documents two distinct HarmonAIze workflows: Boost, which amplifies patterns in a collected dataset after fieldwork, and Synthetic Personas, which are AI-powered survey respondents built from anonymized first-party panel data. The product materials place both within wider quantitative and qualitative research workflows.

Provider-reported creative-testing comparison

Toluna's Creative Pre-Test Instant page reports that its synthetic-persona product can deliver results that are up to 90% accurate to traditional human surveys. The same page says the product combines synthetic personas with the supplier's benchmarks.

This is a provider claim for a named creative-testing product. The page does not provide the comparison design, evaluated markets, question set or complete metric definition needed to treat the figure as a general result for all HarmonAIze uses.

Study limits

  • Boost is not new respondent recruitment

    Toluna defines Boost as amplification of patterns in an existing dataset without additional collection. The suitability of an augmented result therefore remains tied to the original fieldwork, its sample and its measures.

  • Do not generalize one product claim across all workflows

    The public 90% figure is stated for Creative Pre-Test Instant. It does not establish equivalent performance for Boost, Claims Test Instant, all markets, all languages or every research design.
