How it works:
- A Video Agent is used in the online research process by being integrated with traditional survey forms;
- With interactive video that mimics the real researcher, Agent greets respondents and focuses their attention on research;
- Agent accompanies a user throughout the whole research process or pops up contextually when the respondent is unsure about what to do next;
- Agent encourages the user to continue when he stops filling in the form;
- Agent supports the user’s engagements in the research process;
- Agent focuses user’s attention on the given task.

Agents are skilled surveyors because they:
- Understand customers’ questions written in their own words, even with misspellings and grammar errors;
- Provide the right responses, backed by multimedia and voice – proven +80% correct answers , often approaching 96% positive response rates;
- Greet customers through interactive video; they capture attention;
- Fill out questionnaires, prompting "yes, but how do I" or "I forgot my customer ID information" type of questions;
- Deliver full reporting on user’s behavior to the web owner;
-
