What is Subconscious AI?

Subconscious AI is an election simulation tool. A market simulation platform that treats pricing, product and messaging decisions as controlled experiments on modeled buyers. Study designs include discrete choice with price, MaxDiff, shelf and volumetric simulations, each paired with stated assumptions and validation against human studies.

Subconscious AI is a market simulation platform built around a single premise: that a business decision can be tested on a modeled market before money is spent on it. The company starts with a simulator for business decisions, using causal experiments to check how a market responds before capital is committed. Buyers are represented individually, each one carrying its own reasons to choose, so the output is not a single demand curve but a population of simulated customers making a choice among your offer, a competitor's offer, or no purchase at all. The product maps a business question onto a study design. Pricing questions run as discrete choice experiments with price, producing stated willingness to pay, modeled demand and pricing scenarios. Feature and claim questions use MaxDiff or best-worst ranking. Product and pack questions use build-your-own plus adaptive choice. Shelf arguments for retailers use a category shelf simulation. Volume questions use volumetric choice, and competitive scenarios use a market simulator fitted on the model. Each design lists its modeled outputs alongside the assumptions it depends on, which keeps the limits of a study visible rather than buried. The workflow follows a fixed loop: randomize an action, estimate its effect and interval, validate against the relevant human comparison, then update the design when evidence changes. Validation is the part the company invests in publicly. A working paper reports Spearman rank correlation of estimated choice parameters at 0.55 across roughly 300 replications and 0.73 across 43 design-filtered studies, and that paper is explicitly not peer reviewed. Published customer work includes Mintel comparing modeled preferences against human conjoint results, Finta adjusting pricing after survey insights, and New Age Floral deriving a modeled price from five iterative experiments. This is aimed at pricing teams, product marketers, insights and research groups, and consultants who already run conjoint or concept testing and want faster iteration between rounds. It is a research instrument, not a self-serve survey widget. Buyers comparing it to traditional panel-based conjoint vendors should weigh speed and iteration cost against the fact that Subconscious outputs are modeled estimates that still require external evidence before a real commitment.

How do you use Subconscious AI?

  1. 1Book a decision review
    Start by bringing the specific decision, the options under consideration, the target buyers and the deadline. The team uses that conversation to define the comparison and the evidence required.

  2. 2Scope the study design
    Match the question to a method: discrete choice with price for pricing, MaxDiff for features and claims, shelf simulation for retail, volumetric choice for quantities.
  3. 3Run the experiment and read the estimates
    Randomize the action, then review the modeled effect and its uncertainty interval for each option tested rather than a single headline number.
  4. 4Validate against human evidence
    Check the modeled result against the relevant human comparison, and use the published leaderboard and working paper to judge how far the estimate can be trusted.

  5. 5Review customer precedent
    Read the case studies to see how other teams framed pricing and preference work, and what they did with the results afterward.

  6. 6Revise the design before committing
    Update the study when evidence changes, then set the external evidence threshold that has to be met before resources are committed.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Turns a business question into a named study design, with the modeled outputs and assumptions listed up frontAI
  • Simulates individual buyers rather than aggregate demand, so price changes show who switches and to whatAI
  • Publishes validation work against human studies, including rank correlation figures and customer comparisonsAI
  • Covers a wide range of decisions: price, features, pack configuration, shelf, volume and competitor scenariosAI
  • Iterative by design, allowing study revisions when evidence changes rather than one-shot reportsAI

Cons

  • Outputs are modeled estimates, and the company's own validation paper is described as a working paper that is not peer reviewedAI
  • Population size and segment value require external evidence the simulator does not supply on its ownAI
  • No published pricing tiers, so cost has to be established through a sales conversationAI
  • Aimed at teams that already understand conjoint and choice methods; there is no obvious self-serve pathAI
  • The homepage names no integrations, which matters for teams expecting survey or data warehouse connectionsAI

How much does Subconscious AI cost?

Support

Support runs through a decision review booked with the team. Research is carried out by PhD scientists on staff, with scientific advisors retained separately.

Frequently asked questions about Subconscious AI

  • How do you use Subconscious AI?
    The walkthrough on this page covers 6 steps: 1. Book a decision review 2. Scope the study design 3. Run the experiment and read the estimates 4. Validate against human evidence 5. Review customer precedent 6. Revise the design before committing.
  • What platforms does Subconscious AI support?
    Subconscious AI is available on Web App.
  • What are the limitations of Subconscious AI?
    Outputs are modeled estimates, and the company's own validation paper is described as a working paper that is not peer reviewed. Population size and segment value require external evidence the simulator does not supply on its own. No published pricing tiers, so cost has to be established through a sales conversation.
