At Catalyx, we are embracing AI with humans at the helm. AI is transforming the insights industry, and its potential to revolutionise consumer research is undeniable. But at Catalyx, we believe that while AI is a powerful tool, it’s when it’s combined with the strategic minds of our human experts that brands truly drive innovation success.

Our latest whitepaper, “Embracing AI with Humans at the Helm”, dives into how we blend cutting-edge AI technologies with expert insights to make innovation success more predictable for brands. This in-depth resource is packed with valuable information on how Catalyx combines large-scale, real-time data analysis with human contextualisation to uncover actionable insights that traditional methods just can’t match.

Navigating Innovation Challenges: The Power of Embracing AI With Humans Leading

Innovation in consumer goods is challenging, especially in today’s fast-paced market. Brands need to predict which innovations will succeed. At Catalyx, we’ve developed a model that combines human expertise and AI to make innovation success more predictable. For over a decade, we’ve bridged the gap between traditional research and advanced AI-powered insights.

Traditional methods like surveys and focus groups have limitations – confirmation bias, disengaged respondents, and shallow insights. These rely heavily on memory-based behaviours and conscious rationalisations, which don’t always capture true consumer motivations.

Our AI-Enabled Qual at Quant Scale Avoids The Flaws of Traditional Research

Focus groups often suppress diverse opinions due to groupthink, leading to misleading conclusions. Social pressures also result in less genuine feedback. Even individual interviews, while deeper, are time-consuming and prone to interviewer bias, limiting their reach. These methods miss the unconscious motivations that drive real consumer behaviour.

Catalyx overcomes these limitations with our Qual at Quant scale approach, engaging hundreds of consumers simultaneously. This provides diverse perspectives and uncovers trends missed by smaller studies. By conducting studies online, participants are more comfortable, offering honest feedback, especially younger, digital-first consumers.

AI as a Tool for Rapid Data Analysis

Our AI tools analyse vast amounts of qualitative data quickly, identifying patterns and themes that would take weeks manually. However, AI is just a tool. At Catalyx, human experts drive the process – our Strategists use AI to cut through the noise but rely on their expertise to interpret and contextualise the findings.

Human experts guide the research, craft the questions, and interpret results in a meaningful way for clients. They provide insights within the context of market trends, consumer psychology, and business strategy, helping clients make confident, data-driven decisions.

The Future: AI and Human Collaboration

As the world becomes more data-driven, combining AI with human expertise will be critical. At Catalyx, we’re leading this shift. AI speeds up data processing, allowing our Strategists to focus on uncovering transformative insights. Clients like SC Johnson and Swiss Re have praised this blend of technology and strategy, keeping them ahead in an evolving landscape.

At Catalyx, we believe the future of consumer insights lies in the collaboration between AI and human expertise. Our human-led AI approach delivers comprehensive, actionable insights. To learn more, download our whitepaper today.
