Blank canvas to insights in hours.

Ascentra's agents write your study, collect responses at voice scale, and surface the insights you'd otherwise hand to an analyst. Three surfaces, no handoffs.

PILLAR 01

Create your study

Writing and programming, both solved. Brief an agent that understands research craft, approve the draft, and your survey goes live in seconds. No external programmer queue. No waiting on final sign-off.

  • A collaborator trained on senior-consultant survey craft, not a chatbot.
  • Ingests prior briefs and studies for house tone, structure and logic.
  • One click compiles logic, quotas and skip patterns into a live link.

Reviewed thesis_memo.pdf Q3_pricing_survey.docx Q3_willingness_survey.docx
I've reviewed your thesis memo and the two comparable surveys from Q3. Two calibration questions before I draft:

1. Oversample decision-makers at firms > $50M revenue?
2. Include an NPS block, or skip since last wave covered it?
You
Yes on oversample. Skip NPS; we have it from last wave.

Insight collection

Voice agents call your respondent panel and transcribe in real time. Field work that used to take weeks, done in hours, without the interviewer cost.

  • Hundreds of voice interviews in parallel, each probed with custom follow-ups.
  • Transcripts generated live; speaker-labelled and timestamped.
  • Auto-flags drop-offs, contradictions and anomalies for your review.
