Problem
Consumers and workers constantly provide valuable feedback and opinions to companies for free, whether through reviews, surveys, or informal conversations. This unpaid expertise benefits businesses while individuals receive no compensation for their time and insights.
Solution
Autentic AI operates a paid research platform that treats everyday experience as expertise and compensates people for sharing it. The company recruits participants from all walks of life—café owners, new employees, caregivers, family shoppers, and frequent product testers—and invites them to complete short, paid studies on topics they know well. Studies are time-boxed and transparently priced, such as an 8-minute study on trainer selection for €10 or a 15-minute study on AI use at work for €18. The platform frames participation as monetizing one's accumulated knowledge rather than performing a chore.
Target Audience
Primary users are everyday consumers and workers with practical experience in specific domains—such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, household management, and technology—who want to earn money by sharing their opinions in paid studies.
