Yes. This is the core capability that distinguishes a focus group from a standard survey. In SYMAR focus groups, personas listen to what others say, react to opinions, and build upon or challenge ideas. This allows you to observe how group consensus forms or how an opinion shifts during a debate, providing a realistic simulation of social dynamics and influence. ##### Do I need to moderate the session myself? No, you do not need to be present. You simply set the research objective and the discussion guide. An intelligent AI Moderator leads the session for you. It introduces topics, asks follow-up questions to probe deeper when a persona gives an interesting answer, and manages the flow of conversation to ensure all your key questions are answered comprehensively. ##### How many participants can I have in a group? We recommend groups of 3 to 10 personas for the best balance of interaction and clarity. However, because these are synthetic, you are not limited to running just one group. You can run dozens of focus groups simultaneously with different segment compositions to compare how different demographics discuss your product, all in the time it takes to run a single session. ##### What kind of analysis do I get after the session? You receive much more than just a transcript. SYMAR analyzes the entire conversation to identify key themes, sentiment shifts, and areas of agreement or conflict. You can see exactly which arguments resonated most with the group and read specific quotes that capture the essence of the discussion, making it easy to turn the conversation into a report-ready insight. ## User Stories: Find out what people are saying about SYMAR! #### Adrian Tennant Chief Strategy Officer, Bigeye “The biggest value for us is the proven fidelity and the incredible speed.
