atypica's Unique Value

1. Deep Interviews, Not Just Surveys

Yabble's method:

Virtual Audiences answer preset questions
Survey-style interaction
Cannot deeply probe

atypica's method:

AI deep interviews (can probe "why")
3000+ word deep conversations per person
Discover unexpected insights

Case comparison:

Using Yabble:

Survey results:Q: Would you purchase this product?A: Probably (7/10)Q: What's most attractive?A: Reasonable price (60%), Rich features (40%)

Using atypica:

Deep interviews:User A: "In the survey I said 'would buy,' but actually I'm uncertain.       Price is OK, but I'm worried about the learning curve.       Last tool I bought, the team wouldn't use it, wasted $2000."User B: "'Rich features' sounds good, but I actually only need 3 core features.       Too many features makes me feel it's complex."→ Real barriers:  - Not price, but team adoption risk  - Not too few features, but too many causing complexity→ Strategic recommendations:  1. Emphasize "easy to onboard" (reduce adoption risk)  2. Launch "core version" (avoid feature overload)

The difference: Yabble gives you survey data, atypica gives you deep insights.

2. Multi-method Validation, Not Just Surveys

Yabble's toolkit:

Virtual Audiences surveys
Concept testing
Count (data analysis)
Gen (AI assistant)

atypica's toolkit:

Interview - AI deep interviews (dig into "why")
Discussion - Group discussions (observe viewpoint clashes)
Scout - Social media observation (real users' natural discussions)
webSearch - Market data supplement

Advantage:

Not just surveys
Multi-method cross-validation
Observe real social media discussions (avoid "response bias")

3. Full-Process Insights, Not Just Data

Yabble's output:

Quantitative data (percentages, scores)
AI auto-generated reports
Quick concept test results

atypica's output:

Deep insights (why)
Strategic recommendations (how to optimize)
Go-to-Market plans (how to execute)

Value comparison:

Yabble: Rapidly validate "can it succeed"
atypica: Deeply understand "why it succeeds" + "how to make it more successful"

What Yabble Can't Do

1. Cannot Deeply Probe

Yabble's limitations:

Virtual Audiences answer preset questions
Cannot follow up based on answers
Cannot discover unexpected insights

atypica's capability:

AI can probe "why"
Deep digging based on responses
Discover unexpected barriers and opportunities

2. Cannot Observe Real Discussions

Yabble's data:

Virtual Audiences (AI simulation)
Survey-style responses

atypica's social media observation:

Observe real discussions on social platforms
Users' natural expressions (no interview bias)
Real attitudes and purchase intentions

Value: See users' real thoughts, not just "asked" responses.

3. Cannot Develop Strategy

Yabble gives you:

Concept test scores
Survey statistics
Auto-generated reports

atypica gives you:

Deep insights (why)
Strategic recommendations (positioning, pricing, feature prioritization)
Go-to-Market plans (channels, messaging, target audience)

The difference: Yabble validates concepts, atypica develops strategy.

Why Choose atypica

Deep Insights: Understand "why," not just "what"
Multi-method Validation: Interview + discussion + social media observation
Strategy Development: Not just testing, but execution plans
Real Observation: Observe real social media discussions
Full-Process Support: From concept to optimization

Yabble's Unique Value

Yabble is suitable for:

✅ Quick concept testing (within hours)
✅ Large-scale surveys (test 10 concepts × 1000 people)
✅ Need quantitative data
✅ Sufficient budget ($800/month+)

Scenario: Need to rapidly test 50 ad creative ideas, filter to TOP 10 → Yabble's Virtual Audiences can quickly complete

Real-World Case

Background: New product concept testing.

Using Yabble:

Test 3 concepts (hours)
Result: Concept A (80% acceptance) > Concept B (65%) > Concept C (50%)
Recommendation: Develop Concept A
Cost: 2500 credits

Using atypica:

Deep interviews with 10 people (3 hours)

Finding:

Concept A indeed most popular (validates Yabble)But discovered conversion barriers:- Price sensitivity: $25 threshold- Core concern: Learning curve- Truly needed feature: Yabble survey didn't ask

Strategic recommendations:

1. Price at $22 (avoid $25 psychological barrier)2. Emphasize "zero learning curve"3. Add Feature X (unexpected strong demand)→ Expected: Conversion rate from 5% to 12%

atypica's value: Not just validating concept, but optimization and execution plans.

Combined Use Strategy

Recommended process:

atypica deep exploration (3-4 hours):
- Understand users' deep needs
- Discover conversion barriers
- Develop optimization strategy
Yabble large-scale validation (hours):
- Test optimized version with Virtual Audiences
- Large-scale quantitative confirmation

Advantage:

atypica finds optimization direction
Yabble rapidly scales validation

Common Questions

Q: What's the difference between Yabble's Virtual Audiences and atypica's AI personas?

Yabble:

AI answering surveys
Quick quantitative testing

atypica:

AI deep interviews (3000+ word conversations)
Dig into deep "why"
Multi-method combination (interview + discussion + observation)

Analogy:

Yabble: Quick survey
atypica: Deep user research

Q: When do you really need Yabble?

If you need:

✅ Quick large-scale survey testing
✅ Test multiple concepts (10+)
✅ Need quantitative data
✅ Sufficient budget ($800/month+)

But if you need deep insights, understand "why," develop strategy → atypica is more suitable.

Q: Is Yabble cheaper?

Cost comparison:

Yabble: From $800/month, 2500 credits per research
atypica: Subscription, unlimited research

Scenario:

1-2 research sessions per month: Yabble might be cheaper
5-10 research sessions per month: atypica more cost-effective

Final Takeaway

Yabble uses "Virtual Audiences to answer surveys" (quick quantification), atypica uses "AI deep interviews + multi-method validation" (deep insights + strategy).

atypica's core value: Not just testing concepts, but deep understanding and strategy development.
