• Category: AI-powered market research and insights platform

• One sentence description: Yabble is an AI market research platform that lets teams unlock fast, research-grade insights through topic-specific persona conversations, market trend reports, natural-language exploration of data, automated theming and summarization.

• Data Analysis: Automate the analysis and summarization of structured and unstructured data, including quantitative and qualitative data.

• Concept & Creative Feedback: Evaluate written or visual content using feedback from AI personas tailored to your research topic.

• Audience Understanding: Identify key segments, behaviors, and motivations from public and optionally proprietary data.

• Trend & Market Insights: Rapidly generate market reports covering shifting trends, market patterns, audience perceptions, and recommendations.

• Natural Language Exploration: Ask questions in natural language to uncover structured insights at pace, then dive deeper with follow-up questions.

• Virtual Audiences: Virtual Audiences is Yabble’s AI-powered tool for generating topic-specific insights and AI personas based on a research question. Using Yabble’s proprietary augmented data model which integrates diverse reputable sources, it builds a tailored knowledge lake, produces market-insight reports, summarizes key trends, and generates fact-based AI personas. Unlike general AI models, these personas are powered by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) that draws on trustworthy public sources and optionally your proprietary data (PDF, CSV, TXT, XLSX, DOCX) to deliver accurate, traceable, citation-backed insights. Users can chat to AI personas using natural language to explore motivations, test preferences and receive feedback on visual content such as packaging or ads (JPEG, PNG, WebP).
  
  
• Gen: Gen is Yabble’s AI research agent that lets you explore structured and unstructured data. Unlike generic LLMs, which do not inherently understand the structure or meaning of datasets and whose outputs can be prone to hallucination, Gen is specifically designed to interpret, analyze, and provide fact-based answers derived solely from your data. With Gen, you can query your data conversationally, generate automated tables and summaries, filter by custom variables, and explore insights holistically. After uploading your CSV data, simply start asking Gen questions to uncover instant research-grade insights from your data.
  
  
• Count: Count is Yabble’s AI-powered tool that analyses unstructured text from CSV files, including survey responses, reviews, social comments, and forum posts. It automatically identifies themes, sub-themes, and sentiment, turning large volumes of text into clear, structured insights. Count helps teams uncover patterns, priorities, and audience attitudes quickly, without manual coding or categorization, providing a fast, scalable way to understand what people are saying and how they feel.
  
  
• Summarize: Summarize is Yabble’s AI-powered tool that instantly transforms text, audio, and video into clear, actionable insights. It automatically transcribes, condenses, and highlights key themes, trends, challenges, and opportunities from content in .MP4, .MP3, .DOCX, or .TXT formats, including interviews, reports, and transcripts. By turning complex, multi-source material into concise summaries, Summarize reduces analysis time from days to minutes, helping teams quickly understand what matters most and make confident, informed decisions.

"Yabble has enabled us to very quickly make sense of open ended verbatims with great accuracy and clarity. We are quickly able to identify core themes and sentiments allowing us to deep dive where it matters most. This enabled us to unlock additional key insights missed in original interviews.”
- Alessandro Trainini, Director Analytics and Insights | Procter & Gamble

"Qualitative analysis of 1-1 interviews is traditionally a long, tedious process. Yabble was brilliant in making that process quick and simple. Speed is one thing, but the level of similarity between what I would have done manually and what it did automatically was very surprising."
- Gregg Archibald, Managing Partner | Gen2 Advisors

“I was a little skeptical at first at how accurate the AI technology could be, but I’ve validated the output so many times and seen the value that I’m now very comfortable relying on Yabble.”
- Megan Walker, Research and Insights Lead | Contact Energy
