Why Bolt?

We've sat on your side of the table.

We've spent years commissioning qualitative and quantitative research, presenting to skeptical boards and watching great insights get dismissed before they reach the people who need them.

So when we built Bolt Insight, we built what we wished we'd had. An AI-powered market research platform that makes the people behind insights impossible to ignore backed by 85+ researchers who've been exactly where you are.

What struck me the most was probably the concept of meta-analysis. Essentially, we get to the heart of the consumer’s life more quickly.

How we do it?

Deep expertise meets compounding intelligence

Three forces working together: research practitioners who know what good looks like, a platform where every insight builds on the last, and AI that makes your insights sharper.

Research expertise that's been on both sides

Our team has led qualitative and quantitative research functions at brands like Unilever, Danone and Ipsos. We don’t just run market research studies. We know what decisions they need to drive. Every project is designed around the outcome it needs to deliver. 

Intelligence that compounds, not resets

Every study feeds the next. Cross-pollinate consumer insights across categories, resurface past findings in new contexts and build a living intelligence layer that gets smarter with every conversation. No more one-off research projects that vanish into a folder. 

AI that challenges, not just executes

Our specialist AI agents don’t just say yes. They push back on research design, surface blind spots and explain their reasoning. You become a better researcher with every interaction. Bolt Insight’s platform upskills you, by design. 

What we offer

One agency. Full-spectrum intelligence.

From self-service to full agency support, Bolt Insight is the only AI-enabled company to combine qual and quant and provide multi-methodology research programmes from brief to boardroom. No more stitching together tools, agencies, and data sources. Insights compound because they live together.

Consumer Intelligence Platform

AI-moderated qualitative research at scale, quantitative studies and mixed-methods research across 50+ markets, all brought together in one living intelligence system.

Expert Research Team

Former brand-side leaders and agency veterans who co-design your market research, interpret the nuance and translate consumer data into decisions.

Specialist Agent Ecosystem

Purpose-built AI agents that gather, augment and activate insight across the full research workflow, from study design to moderation to final report. Each one trained to think like a real researcher.

...and participants love it, too.

When qualitative research feels natural, people speak freely. No survey fatigue, no awkward time slots. Just real consumers sharing real thoughts, in their own time, in their own words. That means richer insights, less social bias and higher completion rates across every market we work in.

From scattered research to strategic influence

Great research deserves better than a deck that gets ignored. Bolt Insight closes the gap between consumer insight and business action, repositioning your team as the strategic function it should always have been. 

The Shift
Before Bolt

Research takes too long

Manual processes that can't keep pace with the speed of business decisions.

Insights stuck in silos

Knowledge trapped in old decks, lost between agencies and platforms.

Insight teams pushed to the periphery

Treated as a support function rather than a driver of business strategy. 

After Bolt

Rapid delivery

Speed without sacrificing quality. Decision-ready consumer insight in hours, not weeks.

Living intelligence layer

Every qual and quant study compounds. Resurface, recontextualize and connect findings at will.

Insight professionals made indispensable

Bolt Insight frees your team to focus on strategic influence and real business impact

Capabilities

Qual at Scale

AI-moderated depth interviews conducted across global markets and languages, with human-level probing that uncovers the real motivations behind consumer behaviour.

Quant Research

Survey design, fielding and analysis built into the same consumer intelligence layer, so qualitative and quantitative methods work together rather than in silos.

UX Research

Behavioural evidence and attitudinal insight in one session. Participants complete tasks on a live site or prototype while the AI moderator observes, captures responses and uncovers the why behind every struggle.

Compounded Research

Talk directly to your research data. Resurface past findings, connect insights across categories and studies, and build understanding that gets smarter over time.
