AI is shaking up market research, making it faster, smarter, and more creative.
But not all AI is the same! Hereβs how Agentic AI, Generative AI, and Traditional Machine Learning (ML) are transforming the fieldβand where they shine. π

Letβs break this down…
1οΈβ£ Agentic AI: Your Autonomous Assistant π€
Think of Agentic AI as a self-sufficient researcher. It manages tasks like real-time survey optimisation, competitor tracking, or live sentiment analysisβcompletely autonomously.
Use Case: Adjusts underperforming survey questions on the fly to boost engagement.
Strengths: Fast, adaptive, and requires minimal human oversight. Perfect for dynamic projects.
Challenges: Needs clear goals and oversight to avoid ethical or strategic missteps.

Need fresh ideas or better storytelling? Generative AI is your best bet. From designing surveys and crafting personas to generating visual data insights, it excels in creativity.
Use Case: Creates detailed audience personas or designs eye-catching visuals for reports.
Strengths: Customisation at scale. Great for presentations or brainstorming sessions.
Challenges: Relies on prompts and human refinement for context. Requires creativity to shine.
3οΈβ£ Traditional ML: The Data Detective π
Traditional ML is the workhorse of market research, perfect for spotting patterns, predicting trends, and delivering reliable statistical insights.
Use Case: Forecasts sales trends or identifies customer churn risks for subscription services.
Strengths: Highly accurate and proven for structured data analysis.
Challenges: Needs quality data and preprocessing. Less flexible for live tasks.
π½ Which AI Fits Your Needs?
π Agentic AI: Best for autonomous, real-time decision-making.
π Generative AI: Ideal for creativity and storytelling.
π Traditional ML: Essential for deep data analysis and predictions.
