FAQs

Everything you need to know about how ZNIBER PARTNERS predicts your audience’s next move, instantly, ethically, and with unmatched precision.

Understanding our approach

What does ZNIBER PARTNERS do?

We help media decision-makers predict audience reactions before going live.

Using advanced AI-driven synthetic audiences, we simulate how real people, complete with beliefs, biases, and emotions, will respond to your content, programming, or policies.

No recruitment delays, no privacy risks, just instant, actionable insight.

How do I start

Book a discovery call with our team. We will work with you to collaboratively define your challenges, set up your first simulation, and deliver actionable insights you can use immediately.

What sources do you use for your analyses?

Our proprietary engine collects and aggregates data directly from the web, news articles, academic publications, forums, social networks, specialist blogs, open statistical databases…

On certain topics, we add exclusive sources, such as those from our agreement with Valiuz (Mulliez Group), which centralizes data from member retailers.

We don’t stop at factual data: we enrich each synthetic subject with subjective dimensions, musical tastes, eating habits, clothing styles, cultural preferences, formative readings, by cross-referencing varied sources, from platform trends (Spotify, Goodreads, Letterboxd) to cultural-consumption data from national surveys.

This blend of objectivity and subjectivity lets us generate realistic, nuanced profiles that react with human-level depth.

What problems do you solve for media companies?

We help radio stations, TV networks, streaming platforms, and content producers make stronger editorial and marketing decisions, faster and with less risk. Concretely, we enable you to:


• Pre-test the impact of shows, formats, or campaigns before release by simulating real audience reactions with our “synthetic humans”—to know what will engage, surprise, or wear thin.


• Anticipate backlash or controversy by spotting weak signals early and identifying minority opinions likely to amplify.


• Optimize content by pinpointing the segments, sequences, and tones that maximize audience, retention, and engagement.


• Improve marketing positioning—sharpen the narrative, promise, and key messages so your media brand clearly stands out.


• Reduce the biases of traditional methods (focus groups, polls) by exploring the full spectrum of viewpoints, including the quiet or controversial ones.


• Accelerate time-to-insight, delivering actionable analysis in days instead of weeks.


Bottom line: our clients de-risk strategic choices, avoid costly missteps, and maximize the editorial and commercial value of every launch.

Why use your methodology instead of a traditional focus group?

In standard focus groups, representational posturing and mimicry often distort responses, people conform to the group and avoid uncomfortable topics. With our Dupliquas®, those biases disappear.


We can create entire populations that would be nearly impossible to convene in real life, marginalized communities, extreme profiles, geographically dispersed audiences…


Most importantly, our synthetic individuals speak without filters: political convictions, religious beliefs, sexuality, trauma… all the taboo but essential topics needed to deeply understand what shapes a point of view.

The result: fast, rich insights, free from social constraints.

What is a “synthetic human” and how is it different from a chatbot?

Our Dupliquas® are far more than avatars or socio-economic datapoints.

Unlike conventional marketing approaches that reduce a person to a single row in a spreadsheet, we build a genuine life journey for each profile:formative events, joyful moments, setbacks, cultural tastes, pivotal readings… Every individual carries their own backstory.

These models faithfully capture the values, emotions, biases, and evolution of a real audience.

They can debate, change their minds, and react to content as a human would, without ever collecting or exploiting personal data.

Where a chatbot answers mechanically, a Dupliqua® responds like a person, with memory, context, and history.

ZNIBER PARTNERS is exclusively powered by Imagine All The People, the world’s leading developer of privacy-native synthetic human simulations.

Imagine All The People creates technology-generated “Dupliquas®”, fully realized synthetic humans with unique beliefs, biases, and emotions.

These Dupliquas® can debate, evolve their opinions, and react in real time to any content, without ever using personal data.

Their Pilpoul debating engine pushes these synthetic humans to challenge their own assumptions, surface hidden opinions, and reveal unpredictable audience reactions.

The result is a real-time simulation platform that replaces static surveys and outdated focus groups, allowing us to detect emerging cultural shifts, identify weak signals, and forecast audience behavior with unmatched accuracy.

Our exclusive partnership with Imagine All The People applies this technology specifically to the radio, television, music, streaming, and entertainment content industries.

This means ZNIBER PARTNERS clients get the only audience simulation service in these sectors that can test bold ideas, anticipate backlash, and uncover audience truths before the real world reacts, all while staying 100% privacy-compliant.

In short: we don’t just ask what your audience thinks, we simulate how they’ll feel, argue, and change their minds tomorrow.

How do you avoid bias in the results?

Through the diversity of our synthetic profiles and a dialectical engine that systematically confronts opposing viewpoints.

What stops a radio or TV company from doing the same thing with ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a general-purpose engine built to produce consensus answers, without direct access to raw data or structured sampling. Our proprietary technology relies on specialized models, targeted data collection, cross-validation, and media-specific professional protocols—delivering results that are representative, salient, and immediately actionable.

How do you guarantee the reliability of the results?

We combine rigorous technical processing cleaning, weighting, bias detection and correction, with our exclusive Pilpoul Engineering approach, which interrogates each datapoint from multiple angles to test its robustness.


We also apply a maximum-entropy (“max entropy”) method designed to maximize view point diversity, avoid echo-chamber effects, and explore the full spectrum of opinions, including minority or dissonant voices.


Finally, wherever possible, we cross-check our outputs against existing qualitative studies to validate coherence and ensure our Dupliquas® faithfully reflect real-world complexity.

What types of questions can I ask?

Aim each question at a persona your content must win. Our Dupliqua® synthetic humans are built from Persona Intelligence (beliefs, biases, routines) and can debate, shift stance, and surface weak signals. All without using personal data (privacy-native, GDPR-safe). Ask the bold questions you can’t ask real people and watch how each persona reacts over days/weeks.

We don’t average audiences; we simulate fully realized personas with identity anchors, biases, and routines, so your questions hit the right nerve.

  • Fracture & Temporal Simulation: We model where debates split and how reactions evolve over days/weeks (decay, fatigue, saturation), letting you test ad loads, host swaps, or weekly vs. binge, before you commit.
  • Synthetic Theatre for buy-in: When needed, we stage cinematic panel moments (volatility spikes, on-screen metrics) so boards feel the risk and choose decisively.
  • Privacy-native by design: Run high-risk, sensitive scenarios without personal data, GDPR-safe by construction.

Aim your questions at personas across Radio, Television, and Podcasts to stress-test brand feel, hosts/chemistry, pacing, trailers, ad loads, and sensitive topics, ethically and fast.


Next step: send us your target audience, your questions for the target, sample assets (airchecks, clocks, pilot cuts, scripts, trailer variants). We’ll spin up a tailored synthetic panel, run multi-persona simulations (with optional synthetic theatre cut), and return decision-ready options with risk maps.

What do we actually receive?

We provide complete, action-oriented deliverables designed so your teams can move from insight to decision immediately. Specifically, you’ll receive:


• The full transcript of debates between our “synthetic humans,” letting you dive into the richness of the exchanges and spot key arguments, flashpoints, and areas of consensus.


• Detailed profiles of the simulated personas, including not only simulated socio demographics (age, gender, education level, occupation, place of residence) but also political positions, religious convictions, sexual orientations, and other identity traits relevant to how they interpret content.


• A comprehensive strategic analysis translated into a clear action plan, with editorial, marketing, and positioning recommendations.


• A board-ready executive summary—concise, structured, and fit for a management committee or investor presentation.


In short, we don’t just deliver numbers: we give you the context, depth, and diversity of viewpoints to understand not only what your audience thinks, but why they think it.
