See what your market truly needs — before it becomes obvious to everyone.

Today's problem is not the lack of data. There is too much of it.

The main difficulty is understanding what is truly important. Contrary to expectations, with the advent of artificial intelligence, this task has not become easier. In many cases — quite the opposite.

Most AI research courses teach faster information extraction: automating surveys, speeding up analysis, replacing humans with algorithms.

"Focus Group of a Billion People®" offers a completely different approach.

Here, AI becomes not a replacement for the researcher but a partner in observation and understanding. Together you find patterns where people truly speak honestly: on forums, in communities, in support queries, recordings of client conversations, product data, and other sources of real behavior.

You learn to correlate signals from different sources, test them for robustness, and only then move on to surveys, interviews, and experiments.

First — discovery. Then — testing.

This is not the "act fast and fix mistakes" philosophy. It is the principle of "see first — then act once, but correctly."

In two days, you will apply the method to your own strategic task and receive:

  • a visual map of your market;
  • 3–5 testable hypotheses ready for decision-making;
  • your own AI Listening OS system — a set of AI agents, workflows, and prompt libraries customized for your industry;
  • a ready validation plan you can start implementing next week.

All tools created will remain with you. You will be able to use them for future product launches, new clients, and strategic changes.

Stop renting other people's insights. Create your own research system that will work for you for years to come.

What you will master

Learn to see the market as it truly is

You will stop relying solely on reports and dashboards and see a living picture of the market.

Learn to find hidden sources of knowledge:

  • professional communities;
  • forums;
  • real offline conversations;
  • internal company data;
  • digital user behavior and other signals that most companies miss.

Understand the difference between spaces where people portray their desired self-image and spaces where their true motivation is revealed.

Learn to create visual market maps showing real communities, conflicts, interests, and growth points.

Identify trends before they become obvious

You will be able to notice recurring solutions arising independently in different communities.

Learn to see systemic user problems that no one has yet formulated as a market opportunity.

Master the principle of triangulation: if a pattern is confirmed by several independent sources — it can be trusted.

Hear market needs before people can articulate them

You will learn to recognize the hidden level of communication — tensions, desires, doubts, and unmet needs that do not appear in classic surveys and interviews.

Master the analysis of digital user behavior:

  • cursor wobbling;
  • interrupted forms;
  • repeat clicks;
  • other behavioral signals that tell more than any survey answers.

Learn to extract value from data that is already within your company but rarely used: support queries, sales recordings, product logs, and internal knowledge bases.

Create an AI team that helps in decision-making

You will build your own system of specialized AI experts who do not automatically agree with you but help identify weak points in decisions.

Learn to create realistic research personas based on real data, not generic demographic profiles.

Be able to model market reactions and discuss future decisions even before you invest time and money into their implementation.

Work at AI speed without losing trust in the results

You will learn to analyze thousands of conversations in minutes while maintaining the depth of qualitative research.

Master methods for filtering artificially created content, bots, AI hallucinations, and informational noise.

Familiarize yourself with the principles of ethical use of artificial intelligence in research — without manipulation, privacy violations, and aggressive data collection.

Build your own research system

You will bring your data, experience, and tasks.

You will leave with ready AI agents, workflows, a prompt library, and recommendations for application specifically in your company.

This is not a course that ends after training.

This is a research practice and internal competency that you will be able to use over and over — for new products, clients, markets, and strategic decisions.

Who this course is for

Researchers and Insights Specialists

If AI has sped up your work but made conclusions more superficial, this course will help restore the depth of genuine research.

Strategists, Marketers, and Consultants

If you are expected to understand the future, and most AI tools only repeat the known, you will master a method that allows you to see changes before others.

Company Founders, Product Leaders, and New Product Creators

If you want to hear actual people's needs again, rather than building products on assumptions, this course will help reestablish direct communication with your market.

Head of Research Directions • Ex-Uber, Meta • Author of the bestseller "How Not to Use AI"

For over 20 years, I have been involved in research, cultural analytics, and data strategy at Meta, Uber, Apple, and leading creative agencies working with Fortune 100 companies.

Traditional research captures what people say. But it rarely shows what people feel, what they avoid, and what they subtly adapt to.

When generative AI emerged, I saw in it not a tool for increasing productivity but a research partner capable of identifying collective patterns that are difficult for humans to recognize in vast data sets.

I founded Data, Art & Soul to develop a research approach I had always missed: deep human-centered research based on real conversations—online, offline, and within company data that usually goes untapped.

In a world where everyone learns to create, I teach the art of listening.

My main idea:

Stop thinking about how to use AI better. Become the person whom AI helps to see deeper, more accurate, and more meaningful signals.
