Big decisions can't always wait for big $ research

Augment

Fill blind spots

Traditional research by filling in blind spots when you need the complete picture.

Complement

Added confidence

Existing studies with aligned simulations for added confidence in your decisions.

Replace

Speed & agility

Slow or expensive research when speed and agility matter most. Whether you're in a pitch, mid-campaign, or pushing into new territory.

What is Gutsy AI?

Research Simulations that Fill the Gaps

Simulation

Insights on demand

Sometimes, you just need to validate a gut feeling for an idea.

Validation

Test every concept

Other times, you want to pressure-test creative while waiting for live study results.

Speed

Decide at lightning pace

And occasionally, you need an entire testing framework without the delays or costs of traditional methods.

Alignment

Always on-brand

Gutsy ingests your historical data and brand guidelines so every insight speaks your language.

Knowledge

Build institutional memory

Each simulation feeds a living knowledge base, so learnings compound instead of disappearing into slides.
