Gorilla for...

AI Research

Everyone has an opinion about AI, but almost nobody has hard data. Gorilla lets you get it.

Embed a chatbot directly in your experiment and capture how participants behave, not just what they say they'd do.

Let AI adapt your task in real time or cast a chatbot as the partner in a negotiation study. It all runs online, so you can test real people at scale and turn the questions everyone is asking about AI into evidence.

How Gorilla supports AI researchers

AI is set to reshape almost every part of society. How we work. How we learn. Even the music we listen to.

But the technology is moving faster than our understanding of it. Nobody yet knows what these changes will mean for how people think, decide and behave.

Finding out is a job for science. That means careful experiments, run at scale, with results you can trust. And scientists need the right tools to do it.

Gorilla gives you them.

Embed Chatbots

Let participants interact with a chatbot directly in an experiment.

Simulate A Second Participant

Use AI to stand in for another participant in multiplayer experiments.

Live Text Scoring

Ask open questions, then let AI convert answers into quantitative scores as participants respond.

Personalised Stimuli

Generate a message, scenario or product description tailored to each participant's earlier answers.

  1. Consumer Behaviour, AI at Work
  2. Assistant Professor of Marketing
  3. Leeds University Business School

Do we value work less when AI helped make it? It depends whose work it is. Dr Ibrahim gave half her participants a real chatbot inside a Gorilla workplace task. People prized their own AI-assisted work, but undervalued the very same work when someone else had used AI.

  3. UCL

Can a chatbot interview a witness as well as a police officer? Celina's team found it can. "Gorilla made the experiment completely seamless. We could easily embed an AI chatbot directly into the study without writing any code, so participants moved straight from the video to the interview."
