The advantages of AI-moderated creative testing

Creative timelines are tight, but you still need depth to understand why something hits or misses. 

AI moderation makes it easy to gather many consistent reactions quickly, probing naturally to uncover misreads, emotional drivers, and persuasion gaps. 

With fast synthesis, teams can iterate routes in days and launch with more confidence.
