Meet the
Future of Qualitative Research
Traditional focus groups are out.
For years, public affairs teams have relied on focus groups to understand how people think and feel. But the world changed—and focus groups didn’t. They became too slow for modern decision-making, too costly for repeated testing, and too influenced by the loudest voices in the room. Clients need a way to hear from more people, with more honesty, at a speed that matches today’s communications environment.
Aimi by Moxie was built to solve exactly that problem.
Aimi combines AI-moderated, one-on-one interviews with Moxie’s human analysis to give clients what traditional methods can’t: candid voices at scale, delivered in days instead of weeks.
Clients use Aimi when they need to quickly test messages, understand fast-moving sentiment, pressure-test narratives, or uncover the emotional “why” behind public opinion. It’s built for real-world decisions—campaign launches, policy strategy, creative development, crisis response—where timing, truth, and clarity matter most.
Why Aimi Beats
Focus Groups
Aimi captures 3x as many voices in half the time, while reducing bias and delivering results at or below the cost of a single focus group.
