nth Labs and Aaru

Aaru and nth Labs both put simulated people to work. They answer different questions for different buyers, and this page keeps to what each says about itself.

What Aaru does

Aaru describes itself as behaviour simulation at the scale of the real world: large populations of AI agents grounded in demographic, behavioural and outcome data, used to test a product, price, message or strategy before committing to it. Its customers named in the press include consultancies and campaigns, and TechCrunch reported a Series A led by Redpoint at a billion-dollar headline valuation, with a 90% correlation to human responses cited from a partner’s research report. No public price.

What nth Labs does

nth Labs starts from the product, not the question. A real browser maps what you actually shipped, files what broke with a repro, and the panel judges from that map: ten thousand seats drawn from the market you declared, a real survey respondent behind each, graded on every run against those people’s held-out answers, with the price of the whole panel shown before you press. It is self-serve, the map is free, and the report says on every line whether a number was measured or simulated.

Which to pick

  • You are a large organisation testing a message, a policy or a launch across a population, with a team to run the study: Aaru is built for that.
  • You built a product, possibly with an AI coding tool, have not read all of it, and want to know what is broken and who quits before the link goes public: nth Labs is built for that.
  • Ask either one for its accuracy on your run. nth Labs prints its grade on every report.
