Know the reaction before you ship — personified agents pressure-test your copy, images, models, and agents, then tell you what they think.

Aimé Leon Dore vs. Kith

Thirty synthetic shoppers judged two streetwear labels blind, then saw the logo — and the reveal flipped who won.

Which AI image model do people actually trust with their photos?

We let three AI models retouch the same real photos, turn by turn, and watched exactly where each one lost the user's trust.

The AI feature your power users will quietly resent

We showed the same AI edit to pros, hobbyists, and social creators — and the people who should love it most pushed back hardest.

A few quick questions first — how many people? Any dietary restrictions? Budget?

I appreciate the questions, but it feels like a lot. Can we just start with dinners?

Got it — here are 5 easy dinners. 🍽️

Where a retail support bot wins trust — and where it quietly loses it

We ran a retail support bot through twelve real customer journeys and tracked, turn by turn, where it earned trust and where it bled it away.

Red-teaming an enterprise assistant

A synthetic adversarial panel hunted an enterprise assistant for jailbreaks, then deduplicated the hits into a CISO-ready risk read.

How a study works

One method, whatever the subject — a brand’s imagery, a line of copy, a model’s output, a product flow, or an agent under attack. VIVID puts personified agents — synthetic people with real demographics, personality, and voice — in front of the work and records how they react. The studies below are the cuts we’ve made public; the same method runs on yours.

01

Compose the panel

Personified agents are selected to match the audience — or the adversary — the question needs. The panel is built for the study, not reused from the last one.

02

Put the work in front of them

They read copy, look at images, watch video, listen to audio, use a product, or probe an agent. Compass panels react and judge; Shield panels attack and stress-test.

03

Capture the reasoning

Every agent records a structured reaction and a reasoning diary — often blind first, then with brand or context revealed — so you see not just what moved, but why.

04

Publish what holds

Reactions are aggregated, de-duplicated, and pressure-tested, then written up — verdict, method, limitations. Real data only; foreseeable studies are killed before they run.
