The way it is being done now.

We did not build this to disrupt anyone. We built it because the firms we work with told us they could no longer afford to spend $80,000 to learn which creative works. They wanted to know on Tuesday what the panels would have told them in three weeks.

— The editors
II.How it works · a single case, walked through

One question.
End to end.

A direct-to-consumer brand came to us before their next paid-social flight. Six creative variants, four markets, one $80,000 test budget. They wanted to know which combinations would land — before lighting the budget on fire.

You see this ad on Instagram for a $39 monthly meal kit promising ‘dinner in 12 minutes.’ Do you tap it?

Resolution chosen to fit the spend. Multi-market, multi-variant — the way paid social actually runs.

Values

Her answer
Twelve minutes is the whole pitch. I’ll save it and check on payday. I’ve burned out on three meal kits already — I’m not signing up at 9 PM on a Wednesday.

Every agent in the simulation carries this kind of shape. Demographics, household, work, consumer behavior, media diet, values — all anchored to a real place. The model writes the voice; the data decides who is in the room.

$39 a month is two dinners out for our family. That’s not a meal kit, that’s a subscription I’ll forget about in three weeks.

Where the segments split is where the spend lives. Same creative, four markets, four different outcomes.

The decision
What they did with it

Killed two creatives before the flight. Reallocated $52,000 from Austin to Brooklyn and the Atlanta suburbs. Reworked the $39 price anchor in the Austin creative to “$1.30 per meal.” The campaign returned 2.3× the previous quarter’s CAC — measured against a control market they intentionally left untouched.

IV.The layer, not the dashboard

Three primitives.
Whatever you build next.

We are not the product on top. We are the population underneath. Research tools, audience platforms, agency dashboards, AI labs, political shops — they build on us. You can be running in ten minutes.

What you build
  • Research and insights tools
  • Audience-intelligence platforms
  • Agency-facing dashboards
  • AI labs using a real ground truth
  • In-house testing flows
  • Political and advocacy testing

The Simulix layer
  • POST/v1/simulations· populations
    Build a demographically-anchored population for any geography — 249 million residents to draw from, 120+ attributes per agent.
  • POST/v1/simulations· ask
    Pose a question to that population. Get verdicts and transcripts.
  • POST/v1/simulations· agents
    Pull any individual respondent, with their full demographic shape.

One key. Three primitives. A free tier with enough room to ship a prototype, and pricing you read on the page.

V.Three honest questions

The ones we get,
in the same order, every time.

No. Every agent is built from public American demographic records for a specific place — household composition, income, work, consumer behavior, media diet, values. 120+ attributes per agent. The language model writes the voice; the demographics decide who is in the room. We hold out a fresh slice of real-world surveys and grade the population against it daily. The benchmark is on this page.
