Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Minds: Synthetic Market Research Panels Tools (18)
create_panel
Creates a new research Panel from existing Groups or inline Group configurations when the intended outcome is a new Panel. Follow-up research on an existing Panel does not require creation. Composite creation is atomic and rolls back partial Group failures. Panels are private by default; enabling link sharing also publishes the attached Groups and Minds.
ask_panel
Submits one respondent-visible question to an existing Panel and starts asynchronous responses from its Minds. Follow-up questions remain within the existing Panel; this operation does not create or enumerate Panels. The full question value may reach respondents and is not planner-only metadata. Scale, categorical, and qualitative questions are classified automatically, and the response includes status and workspace links.
export_panel
Starts an asynchronous export of Panel results and returns an export job ID. Supports executive briefs, full reports, and raw data in PDF, HTML, PNG ZIP, DOCX, PPTX, Markdown, CSV, XLS, or SPSS SAV formats, subject to report-kind compatibility.
export_mind
Generates a branded profile for one existing Mind, identified by exact ID or fuzzy name. Markdown is returned inline by default; PDF, DOCX, and PPTX artifacts are returned as base64 with a workspace link.
