this is what the insights library looks like in figma btw 🤯 and each tile is a study with 50-2,000 unique interviews
In the last 60 days, Pogo ran 100,000 research interviews with purchase-verified shoppers. Today, we're giving you access to all of them with Insights Library. For the first time, brands can answer research questions with insights from real shoppers, without ever launching a study. Ask anything about your customers, competitors, or category, and get an answer immediately. New studies are designed and fielded automatically every week, covering hundreds of categories, topics, and brands. Product launch, recall, or viral story in your category? Pogo’s research agents are on it. By year-end, we’ll have 1 million interview and survey responses.

Finally sharing what we've been building for the last year! We’re just getting started and I’m looking for designers to join us!! If we hire someone you refer, we'll send you $5k
The dirty secret about consumer research? It’s overrun by fraud. Survey bots. People lying to qualify for interviews. Today, Pogo is launching the world’s only AI researcher that lets brands talk to verified buyers of any product - at scale, in hours. Backed by $32M to date. For 6 years, we’ve built the consumer network that makes research with real, verified buyers possible: • 3M+ opted-in U.S. consumers • Visibility into 1 in every 150 U.S. shopping trips • $470B in observed transactions • Ranked #1 Loyalty App in the U.S. by Newsweek, two years running Watch the full story 👇

one detail i love from @matchpaintcolor is how users naturally reached out over email with issues. we wanted to make this process even easier, so now users can just text me directly. anyone know if there's a way to start a group chat instead?

added a fun interaction for previewing trending tiktok audios on @ReelCloneAI
I checked my phone after an hour of pickleball… @ReelCloneAI is getting closer to full automation - soon, it’ll handle everything from influencer and hook generation to adding trending audio, and posting directly to TikTok.
