From first idea to post-launch

We predict how people respond to your content.

Upload an idea, a mockup, a rough cut, or a finished ad. Choose your audience, and see how they'll react, second by second: what grabs attention, what they feel, and what they do next. In minutes.

Test an idea or a GenAI draft before you build it.

Compare mockups, animatics, or cuts before you spend.

Understand why a campaign worked, or didn't.

See how a new audience or market will respond.

How it works

From upload to answer in three steps.

Upload your content, choose your audience, and read how they respond.

01Your content
VIDEO · IMAGE · TEXT

Upload your content

Drop in your video, or an image or text. It can be a rough idea, a mockup, or a finished ad. Add competitors if you want them in the picture.

02Your audience
100,000 PROFILES

Choose your audience

Pick who you're trying to reach. We build them from 100,000 profiles that notice, feel, and react the way real people do.

03The result
WORST · EXPECTED · BEST

See how they respond

Watch a simulated audience react, second by second: what grabs attention, what they feel, and what they do at the end. You get the best, expected, and worst case.

First, we read your content

We break your video down, frame by frame.

Before we predict anything, we look at what's actually in your content.

Scenes

We split the video into scenes and read its pacing.

On screen

We detect the logos, products, people, and text in every shot.

Sound

We read the audio: music, voice, and where they land.

Meaning

We read the tone and message of each moment.

This is the fingerprint we use to predict how your audience reacts.

Why you can trust it

Grounded in real brain data, not opinions.

Our model was trained in the lab on real brain and eye-tracking data from hundreds of people. It reads what your content does to attention and emotion, not what people say in a survey.

When the stakes are high

Confirm it with real viewers.

Recruit a panel from your exact audience. They watch with eye-tracking, and you see how real people actually responded, right next to the prediction, including which logos and moments held their eye.

Real attention, second by second

How a real audience's focus rose and fell across your video.

Where their eyes actually went

Which logos, products, and moments held the gaze, and which got skipped.

What they said, in their words

Verbatim reactions from people in your exact target audience.

Ask anything, at any stage

Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, or any tool your team already lives in.

  • ·Connects through MCP, with no new workflow to learn.
  • ·Ask in plain language; the simulation runs behind the scenes.
  • ·Answers land in the same thread as the rest of your work.

While planning

You

“Simulate a Go Viral scenario on Instagram: US Gen-Z women, $5,000 budget, Creative A.”

North AI

Running 100 scenario paths…

Instagram peaks day 4. Budget lifts reach 3.2× in week 1. Organic sustains if early saves >8%.

Boost on day 1 and 5, not continuously.

Mid-strategy

You

“How does our audience hold attention versus Competitor X on TikTok?”

North AI

Competitor X spikes harder in the first 12h but drops 2× faster than your baseline. Their audience chases trends; yours is more loyal.

You win on week-2 retention.

In a meeting

You

“We have 3 ebooks. Which resonates best with 25–34s on LinkedIn versus Reddit?”

North AI

Ebook 2 wins on sustained attention for that group.

LinkedIn: Ebook 1 gets more shares. Reddit: Ebook 3 matches the tone.

Different content for each platform.

After the campaign

You

“Creative B had lower initial engagement, but the sim predicts more total views. How?”

North AI

Creative A spiked early: paid drove it, and paid ramps fast then decays fast.

Creative B started slower but held attention across more segments, sustaining organic spread without extra budget.

Creative B wins past week 1. Creative A is the launch spike.

What the simulation tells you

Six signals you can act on before you spend.

F01

Paid vs organic separation

Paid reach ramps fast, peaks high, and decays quickly. Organic spreads slower but sustains. The simulation models both independently, so you see where budget ends and content takes over.

How long attention lasts

Every platform fades at its own speed: TikTok content drops in hours, YouTube sustains for weeks. See exactly when attention drops and which format holds longest.

Audience breakdown

Who responds, by age, gender, and behaviour type. Passive scrollers, active sharers, and power users carry different inertia and thresholds, calibrated from demographic data.

YouCompetitorBot

F04

Competitor & bot dynamics

Competitor activity competes for the same attention. Fake engagement is modelled separately, so you can tell real signal from inflated early metrics.

TTIGRDFBWA

F05

Cross-platform spread

Each platform has its own network model. Content moves through algorithmic feeds on TikTok, subscriber networks on YouTube, and group cascades on WhatsApp. The simulation tracks every path.

F06

Range of outcomes

We run every scenario hundreds of times. You get the best, expected, and worst case, not a single number, so you know the downside before you commit budget.

What practitioners say

Trusted by the teams who ship creative every week.

The video insights from North AI are deep and help us invest in the right ad creative. Balancing human insight and AI analysis gives me confidence the data is accurate.

TW

Tom White

Asset Manager / Science-inc

The insights from North AI have been really impressive, and especially helpful when approaching commissioners. Companies need insights like these to support the decision-making process.

EV

Eline Van Der Velden

CEO / Particle6

We used to rely on gut feeling and post-launch metrics. North AI showed us what was working. The predictions matched our real-world results, something no survey panel has done for us.
