The problem we solve

Consumer brand teams are under more pressure than ever. Faster briefs, tighter budgets and business decisions that cannot wait weeks for a debrief. Research that arrives too late, sits in a deck and gets dismissed before it reaches the people who need it. Bolt Insight was built by researchers who lived that reality. Whether you work in FMCG, CPG, food and beverage or luxury goods, we know what it takes to generate consumer insight that earns its place in the room. Our AI-powered market research platform delivers qual, quant and hybrid research faster, deeper and more consistently than traditional methods allow, so your team spends less time waiting and more time influencing.

  • Design smarter market research

    Bolt Insight's expert research team co-designs studies with you, built around the business decisions you actually need to make. Every project starts with the outcome it needs to deliver.

  • Get closer to your consumer

    Real consumers. Real conversations. Real time. Bolt Insight runs dynamic, AI-moderated qualitative interviews that probe deeper than surveys and move faster than traditional qual, capturing the emotional and contextual truth behind consumer behaviour.

  • Make consumer insight compound

    Every study feeds the next. Meta-Analysis connects consumer insights across time periods, markets and datasets. Dynamic Personas evolve as your understanding deepens. The more research you run, the smarter your research becomes.

Built for yourreality

Qual, quant and AI agents all in one place. No more stitching together tools, agencies and data sources. Consumer insights compound because they live together.

Speed that matches the pace of retail

Shopper behaviour changes fast. Decision-ready retail consumer insight in days, not weeks — Bolt Insight keeps your team ahead of shifts in purchase behaviour, category trends and competitive dynamics without slowing you down.

From global retailer to local truth

Run qualitative and quantitative shopper research across multiple markets simultaneously. Bolt Insight is built for global retail and ecommerce teams, delivering findings that reflect genuine local consumer behaviour rather than a one-size-fits-all summary.

Research that drives ranging, ranging that drives results

Bolt Insight was founded by brand-side researchers who understand the commercial pressure retail and ecommerce teams face. We know how to generate shopper insight that lands with category buyers, commercial directors and senior leadership alike.

Who we work with

Bolt Insight is trusted by 11 of the world's top 15 FMCG companies, including Unilever, Danone and Reckitt, as well as leading global consumer brands such as Meta, Amazon and BSH.

My experience with BoltChatAI is very positive. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, and the team is incredibly supportive. Going from brief to report in as little as 24 hours is a game changer. More consumer conversations sparks more internal dialogue, leading to increasing engagement and, ultimately, a better understanding of issues and opportunities.
