YC-backed Studio shared results from a pilot comparing its AI simulations with traditional market research. Studio achieved 97.5%+ accuracy in forecasting purchase behavior, outperforming traditional methods and synthetic panels. The model also showed a 22% lower error rate in 52-week total dollar comparisons and beat traditional metrics across 18 performance cuts. Studio builds a living society model of the market to simulate decisions, aiming to predict actual consumer actions rather than just stated intentions.
