< 30 min

From agent prompt to full research report with reasoning per persona.

5+ agents

Officially supported out of the box: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Cursor.

$8 / study

Effective cost on the Pro plan. Unlimited research, no credit ceiling.

The gap

Marketing decisions wait for research that never comes.

Marketing teams, agencies, and founders ship copy on gut because audience research costs $5,000 to $30,000 and takes 4 to 8 weeks. Falling back on ChatGPT returns whatever you were already leaning toward. Articos MCP runs the research in the agent where you draft, before you commit.

How it works

Three steps. One prompt. Audience signal in minutes.

01

Connect Articos to your agent

One-time setup. Add Articos MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible app. Takes a few minutes.

02

Ask inside your agent

From any prompt: "Test this positioning against SMB SaaS founders," or "Which of these three hero variants will land better?" Articos builds the simulated panel and runs the study.

03

Get structured feedback with reasoning

Simulated buyers react, give you their verdict, and tell you why. Every finding ties back to a specific persona and their reasoning. Full report in under 30 minutes.

What you can run

From messaging to positioning to ICP, all without a research project.

Test messaging before you ship it

Headlines, value props, email subject lines, cold outreach. Each simulated persona reacts with their reasoning, so you see which won and why.

Compare ad copy, landing pages, and variants

Drop in two or three versions. Get segment-level breakdown of which lands with which audience, and what each would change.

Find your ICP and the segments you're missing

Describe your product. Articos surfaces which audiences respond, which don't, and the segments worth exploring further.

Pressure-test positioning and A/B before paid traffic

Validate your positioning line, pricing frame, or category claim with simulated buyers before launching the ad spend.

Example prompts

What you can type inside your agent.

Articos MCP responds to natural language. No special syntax, no commands to memorize.

Test a positioning line

"Articos, test this positioning against SMB SaaS founders: 'The user research platform that gives you findings in 30 minutes, not 30 days.'"

Compare three variants

"Articos, which of these three email subject lines will land better with CMOs? [Variant A, Variant B, Variant C]"

Discover ICPs

"Articos, discover the top 3 ICPs for a product that helps marketers run user research in under 30 minutes."

Validate a concept

"Articos, run a concept test on this feature idea against product marketers at Series A SaaS: [concept description]"

Pressure-test pricing

"Articos, how would $199/month land with freelance consultants vs mid-market agencies?"

Each prompt returns a full report with reasoning per persona, segment-level breakdowns, and the exact language your audience uses.

What comes back

A structured report inside your conversation.

Articos MCP returns a full research report in-chat. Not a summary. Not a vibe check. Structured feedback you can act on and export.

Variant-by-variant scoring.Clarity, resonance, and credibility scores per variant with the segment breakdown behind each.

Segment-level winners, not averages.Which variant wins for enterprise buyers, SMBs, price-sensitive segments, or decision-makers — separately, not averaged into a single winner that hides the trade-off.

Direct persona quotes.The actual language each simulated buyer used, with sentiment and reasoning behind every reaction.

Objection patterns.The specific friction points that would stop each segment from converting, with suggestions for addressing them.

Full report in your Articos account.Every MCP study is also saved in your Articos platform for white-label export, team sharing, and historical comparison.

Grounded in science

Same AI everyone uses. Completely different architecture.

Articos is one of the only AI user research platforms with a peer-reviewed validation paper. Personas are built on Big Five personality (NEO-PI-R, 30 facets), Hofstede's six cultural dimensions across 69 countries, Rogers' diffusion model for stance diversity, ACT-R cognitive architecture, hypothesis-blind interviews, and a six-stage adversarial review pipeline.
