The Scenario

You need qualitative positioning feedback from five distinct audience segments — but you don’t have three weeks for recruitment, incentive budgets, or a moderator. With Mavera’s Speak surface, you have live voice conversations with AI personas, probe their reactions in real time, and extract structured insights. Five personas, five conversations, one afternoon.
Mavera-only workflow. No recruitment platforms, no incentive payments, no scheduling tools. Just Mavera’s Personas, Speak, and Chat surfaces.

When to Use This

  • Early-stage positioning validation with 2–3 hypotheses that need gut-checks.
  • Founder-led discovery — practice your pitch with synthetic personas before real prospects.
  • Message hierarchy testing — which proof points resonate first with each segment?
  • Pre-launch readiness — talk to 5 ICP segments and capture objections.

Architecture


What You Need


Step 1 — Create 5 ICP Personas


Step 2 — Define Interview Script

Seven phases from opening reaction through pricing to a closing suggestion. Consistent across all 5 interviews.

Step 3 — Run Speak Sessions

Start a Speak session for each persona and run through the interview script turn by turn.
Speak sessions are sequential — each turn waits for the response. Budget ~2–3 minutes per interview, ~10–15 minutes for all 5.

Step 4 — Extract Structured Insights

Feed each transcript into Chat with a structured output schema.

Step 5 — Marathon Summary Report
