ycombinator · x · 2026-10-27
Customer-research platform Gather announced a research API for AI agents, already adopted by marketing, product, and insights teams at 60+ enterprises including Datadog, Fortinet, Envoy, and Staples, with 250,000+ interviews conducted.
Use cases: testing ads pre-launch with simulated buyer personas, surfacing competitor weaknesses for competitive deals, and running real research for thought-leadership content. Gather makes customer calls, surveys, and past research queryable; when evidence is missing, its AI researcher designs studies and interviews real buyers, delivering quant and qual insights in days. Each interview strengthens a living buyer model that teams and agents can query to test messaging, pricing, and product ideas in minutes.
