AI Threatens Traditional Market Research with Instant, Low-Cost Insights

Commentators point out that with the rise of AI tools like ListenLabs, traditional market research agencies are facing massive disruption.
Historically, a simple market research study for large corporations like L’Oreal could cost seven figures and take six months to complete. Research giants like GfK and Ipsos generate billions in revenue from these needs. Now, AI is making the cost and barrier to understanding 'what people want' trivial, completely upending the expensive and slow traditional research model.
