Addy Graves had been working in market research for over a decade when ChatGPT launched in 2022. While exploring the platform’s capabilities, she wondered: How could AI improve how market research is done?

Traditionally, studies would take at least two months, says Ms. Graves, who previously held positions at Critical Mass and Ipsos Reid. That included time to plan the study, develop a survey platform and questions, gather results, analyze them and create a report.

In 2023, Ms. Graves co-founded Cashew Research as an end-to-end, AI-enabled digital market research company. AI helps Cashew’s researchers develop online survey questions, collect responses from real humans, analyze data and generate reports. “We’re cutting down the time frame by at least five to six weeks,” Ms. Graves says. “We can turn a study around in a couple of days to a week.”

Companies like Cashew, alongside major players in market research such as Leger and Nielsen, have recently embraced AI to evolve an industry that has largely remained the same for decades.

In addition to speedier results, AI also reduces the human capital required to complete studies. For example, instead of dozens of researchers working on a study, one Cashew researcher can manage 20 customers simultaneously.
