Congrats on the launch! Really interesting approach to testing messaging and positioning against ICP-specific personas before taking it live. One question though - how different does the feedback get when you test the same messaging across different personas?

Comment highlights

In prepping for this launch, @shaheergadit and @owais_khan22 ran my @Minara tagline rewrite through Articos live.

The original “Run your own Wall Street” scored 4.5 (which is still on their homepage) while my rewrite—“Research, plan and invest in one chat”—scored 6.2.

Minara reached #1 on their Product Hunt launch, demonstrating that differentiated language won't matter much if nobody gets what you're trying to say!

Articos lets you test messaging against simulated personas matched to your ICP, and then interrogate their reasoning, and get a report back in under 30 minutes.

If you're prepping for your [Product Hunt] launch and arguing over copy in Slack… try Articos as the dealbreaker!

Got the taste of the tool, and I think it can be very helpful, especially when there's no time to run real user panels, and you need to check your ideas quickly

I love that it traces findings back to specific persona reasoning rather than just giving a generic AI summary.

How does Articos compare to running an actual user panel through one of the message testing platforms? I am sure faster, but how's the quality holding up here?

All the best for the launch @owais_khan22

White label reporting angle is huge for agencies trying to validate copy directions to sceptical cleints. good work team.

We used Articos to test landing pages and understand the unmet needs of our target audience. It’s a great tool

The standard way of creating positioning maps and messaging pillars have always been doing comprehensive internal stakeholders interviews, customer interviews, reading in-depth market research, looking at the competition (where it stands, what kind of customers they attract) and probable proof (benchmarks, use case based outcomes).

I will put Articos to test in couple of days for a client I am working with and see what it brings me back. I will definitely circle back with the results.

Congrats on the launch, Shaheer and Owais.

This is great!! I've been using Articos to test out messaging before making it live anywhere! Love the insights it has provided

I found Articos when I was looking to evaluate the business concept/idea of a virtual event management agency (now we call it EventLoop). We were validating the concept with potential buyers but that process was slow and we wanted to get off the ground quickly so we used Articos to validate the idea with its generated personas. We not only validated the idea but also improved the messaging based on the report.

A friend introduced me to @Articos several weeks back. Since then I have been close to Articos and Shaheer and it's been fascinating to see how they have evolved and grown.

Congrats on the launch @owais_khan22 and @shaheergadit ! Just signed up and tested Articos. The onboarding is incredibly fast.

I also really liked how many questions it asks before giving you the final insights. It feels surprisingly detailed rather than just generating a quick generic AI response.

Could Articos eventually generate personas from Reddit threads, G2 reviews, X post/Product Hunt or public community discussions? Probably to share a social media and to try to do a quick research?

The “talk to your simulated audience” part is actually pretty interesting. This could save a lot of teams from making decisions based on gut feeling alone. Congrats on the launch!

I launched here on Sunday and what decided the day was not positioning, it was whether a curator featured it. Can research see that coming?

Positioning is one of those things that can look obvious internally but completely different to a potential customer. This could be a useful reality check for me

the peer review detail gives me a bit more confidence in the approach. I’m curious how closely the simulated responses tend to match feedback from actual users.

User research often gets pushed aside when teams are moving fast. Having something that makes the first round of research easier makes a lot of sense to me

Testing this out right now for an upcoming campaign, the UI is really clean so far.

u said 86.3% recall at 49.2% precision, so abt half the themes are noise. is there a confidence score per theme so i know which to trust?

Wellows has been an early user of Articos. We have used Articos to conduct user interviews and find unmet needs of our potential target audience. The insights really helped us shape our ICP and positioning.

Amazing work done by Articos and team. Good luck:)
