AI-native research & polling

Surveys built by an AI agent.
Numbers you can defend.

Upload a brief or a questionnaire document — Wavefield's agent programs the full survey: skip logic, quotas, rotations, translations. Field it to your list or a shareable link, and get weighted, significance-tested results the same day.

Brand Tracker — Wave 3Sample output
Build the survey from this brief. 25 questions, screener first.
Built 5 blocks from the brief — screener, usage, brand funnel, ad recall, demographics. Terminates set on age and category non-users; quotas at 50/50 gender.
Rotate the brand list and add a Spanish translation.
Done — brand rows rotate with “None of these” anchored, and the es-MX overlay is live.
S2Which of these categories have you purchased in the past 3 months?
Terminate if noneMulti-select

How it works

Brief to boardroom in three steps

1

Brief in, survey out

Upload a Word doc or describe the study in chat. The agent drafts every block — questions, terminates, quotas, rotations — in minutes. Refine it by talking to the agent or in the visual editor: both edit the same document, so nothing ever drifts out of sync.

2

Field with confidence

Publish a link or invite your own contacts with single-use email links (SMS available). Quotas fill themselves, screeners terminate cleanly, attention checks and speeder detection flag low-quality responses automatically, and respondents can resume where they left off.

3

Analysis, not just exports

Weighted toplines, crosstabs with significance letters, trend lines across tracker waves. Download a banner book in Excel, a topline in Word, or the full dataset as SPSS. The agent even codes your open ends into themes.

Use cases

Built for brands. Trusted methods for the ballot.

The same engine runs consumer studies and public-opinion polls — because under the hood they need the same things done right: clean screens, filled quotas, honest weighting, and numbers that survive scrutiny.

Market research

Know your market before you spend on it

Brand trackers, concept and ad tests, NPS with drivers, pricing and usage studies — briefed in the morning, fielding by the afternoon.

  • Brand funnel and tracker waves with trend reporting
  • Concept, pack, and ad testing with randomized rotations
  • Split samples for A/B message and creative tests
  • Field to your customer list, or to panel sample you source — vendor redirects built in
  • Banner books cut by segment, region, and usage
Political & public-opinion polling

Campaign-grade polling without the campaign-pollster invoice

Horse-race, approval, and issue polling for campaigns, advocacy groups, and newsrooms — with the methodology stated plainly enough to publish.

  • Likely-voter screens with clean terminates
  • Split-sample message testing and question rotation to control order effects
  • Weighting to the electorate — region, age, gender, party, education
  • Crosstabs by party, region, and vote intent with significance testing
  • Publish-ready toplines with stated MoE on effective base sizes
  • Bilingual fielding from a single questionnaire
Why Wavefield

A form is not a study

Form builders collect answers. Enterprise research suites and campaign pollsters do real research — behind annual contracts, onboarding quarters, and five-figure retainers. Wavefield gives you the research-grade parts for consumer studies and public-opinion polls alike, without the enterprise wrapper: pay per project, self-serve, live today.

And versus a full-service agency: the same programming and data processing that takes three weeks and five figures, at self-serve speed — with hands-on help available when you want it.

The AI agent

An agent that does the survey programming

Not an autocomplete for question text — an agent that operates the whole platform. It builds questionnaires from documents, wires up logic, sets quotas, translates, and edits alongside you. Every change it makes goes through the same versioned operations as the visual editor, so its work is always inspectable and reversible.

  • Word-doc brief or questionnaire → complete programmed survey in minutes
  • Chat and visual editor work on one document — refine either way, never re-brief
  • Skip logic, display logic, terminates, quotas, rotations, split samples, piping
  • One-click translation overlays — field in five languages from one survey
  • Open-end responses coded into themes automatically
The analysis

Deliverables a data processor would charge for

Percentages are weighted, counts stay honest, and every stat is computed the way a methodologist would defend it: rim-weighted estimates, margins of error on effective base sizes, significance letters on the banner points.

  • Rim (raking) weights to your population targets
  • Crosstabs with significance testing; MoE from Kish effective bases
  • Banner books in Excel, toplines in Word, full datasets in SPSS
  • Tracker waves with trend lines question by question
  • Quality flags — speeders, straightliners, failed attention checks — with one-click exclusion
