How Gen AI Is Transforming Market Research
Harvard Business Review revealed how generative AI is revolutionizing market research in four key ways. First, it's making current practices faster and cheaper - 45% of researchers already use AI to synthesize interview transcripts and analyze data.
Second, synthetic data is replacing traditional surveys with 95% accuracy in some studies. Third, AI fills research gaps by providing instant market insights when data isn't available. Fourth, digital twins let marketers test campaigns on virtual customers before real presentations.
Building AI That Sells: Scaling Smarter with Luminance CEO Eleanor Lightbody
Eleanor Lightbody transformed Luminance from a law firm-focused AI tool into a 6X revenue growth machine. How?
• Hired hungry graduates over experienced lawyers for sales roles - She realized selling AI is different from being a lawyer...give her a 21-year-old graduate and she'll train them to sell.
• Built two separate teams - core product delivery and a "jet pilot" innovation team - this lets them move fast on new features while keeping the main product stable.
• Works with select design partners on experimental features - Instead of promising finished products...she frames it as co-building with customers who understand they're testing early versions.
Her biggest lesson? Great AI products don't sell themselves - you need smart go-to-market strategy.
Prompt Tip of the Week
Imagine you're solving a puzzle and I keep poking you saying "Just tell me the answer! Quick! No thinking!" You'd probably get it wrong, right? Well, that's exactly what Wharton Business School professor Ethan Mollick discovered happens with chatbots like ChatGPT.
When we tell it to "be brief," "answer directly," or "skip the explanation," we're actually making it dumber. It's like telling a chef "Don't measure, don't taste, just cook!" Those efficiency commands - "Give me just the answer," "One sentence only" - are sabotaging the AI's ability to think straight.
Here's why: A chatbot is like a student who needs to show their work. Each word it writes helps it figure out the next word, like crossing a river by feeling for stepping stones. When we demand it leap straight to the other side with commands like "Just give me the number!" we're forcing it to skip the very stones that would get it there safely.
What's even more fascinating... is that "thinking out loud" isn't just the chatbot being chatty. It's literally how these models find the truth. So in your prompts, resist the urge to tell it to "keep it short." That meandering explanation is actually the best route to the right answer.
