What we do

At Hello Ara we bring real people to you in their own words in real time. We help you understand them better than before. What better time than now, when so many things have changed in our world?

In a world of panels, closed questions with irrelevant options, social data without context. We bring you open data with context. The thoughts and words of real people on a quantitative scale.

We create chatbots, giving them personality and empathy so people love to chat to them and reveal their innermost thoughts and feelings in detail. Finding people on Social Media Messenger platforms, we have fun or serious conversations about the topics you need to understand in depth. We can talk to broad groups of people or niche interest groups – (dog lovers who own an iphone and like rap?)

We bring creativity back into research. From personalising the bot, the conversation and the social media ad to finding the themes with AI and reading through people’s stories and context to uncover unknown things and better why’s.

"With business leadership becoming more diverse, lives will be changed for the better“

I'm a single mother of 3 aged 31 from South Africa. I love making new friends & listing to music. It's been very emotional because  I lost my job due to this corona virus pandemic.

One off bots will help you deep dive a specific event or issue. Our bots can also run in waves to help you understand change over time. With every wave your bot will build on its expertise.

We can rapidly launch a bot to talk to people about news, an event or implications of a sudden change. Examples could be an environmental disaster, a major protest or a law change.

Our AI chatbots bring the best of multiple research methods to give you detailed open data with context that lead to better insight.

Always there, always on
