WHAT CROWDOS FIELDS

An agent runs the same public-opinion study the web app fields.

  • 01

    MCP on every plan, Free included.

    An AI agent calls run_focus_group, run_debate, compare_options, estimate_reach, preview_cost and the rest of the study tools. Free is up to 20 respondents, 5 requests a minute and a $5 monthly MCP spend ceiling. Pro is 500 respondents, 30 requests a minute and $500. Max is 1,000 respondents, 120 requests a minute and $2,500. Pricing instruments and MaxDiff are on Pro and Max. The REST API is Enterprise-only. Studies draw the wallet at the same rates as the web: Pulse at $0.02 a respondent, Screening Room from $0.025, Ads Labo at $0.015. A small focus group costs about $0.40.
  • 02

    A census panel that disagrees.

    Each respondent is a persistent persona sampled from census distributions, with a demographic identity that survives across studies. The panel disagrees with itself. One model role-playing a panel is one voice.
  • 03

    The studies CrowdOS already sells.

    Pulse is a vote, a debate, or a comparison. Screening Room pressure-tests a creative, a concept, or a deck. Ads Labo is a forced choice among two to four ad variants. Van Westendorp and Gabor-Granger read a price. MaxDiff orders messages, claims, reasons or criteria, on Pro and Max.

THE OPINION BENCHMARK

The published opinion benchmark.

On the Pew opinion benchmark, the crowd's opinion distribution matches published polling at 93.3% parity, with a mean absolute error of 3.36 percentage points and a Pearson r of 0.984. That figure measures opinion. Creative ranking against a live campaign is a separate measurement.
