Market Research

Research that keeps pace with your decisions.

Your AI research analyst compiles industry landscapes, trend reports, and market sizing from public sources — delivering structured briefs you can act on, not raw data you have to interpret.

Reports in hours, not weeks. Free to start.

The problem

Decisions can't wait for research. But guessing isn't a strategy.

You need to evaluate a new pricing tier by Thursday. You need to understand whether the European market is worth pursuing before the board meeting. You need to know which customer segment is growing fastest so you can allocate Q3 budget.

For most teams under 50 people, "market research" means a founder scanning competitor websites for 30 minutes — or a $15,000+ engagement with a research firm that takes 6-8 weeks.

SendToTeam fills the gap between "no research" and "hire McKinsey." Structured secondary research from public sources, delivered in hours.

Research types

Specific questions get actionable answers

The quality of AI-compiled research scales directly with the specificity of your question.

Delivers: Pricing tiers, feature matrix, positioning comparison

Market entry evaluation

Weak prompt

"Should we expand to Europe?"

Strong prompt

"What is the competitive landscape for employee wellness platforms in the UK market, and which regulatory requirements would affect a US-based entrant?"

Delivers: Competitor map, regulatory checklist, market size

Segment analysis

Weak prompt

"Who uses AI customer support?"

Strong prompt

"Which industries are adopting AI-powered customer support tools fastest, and what are the common objections from companies that have not adopted yet?"

Delivers: Adoption by industry, objection matrix, growth rates

Trend monitoring

Weak prompt

Delivers: Funding timeline, hiring analysis, market direction

Compounding intelligence

Honest limitation

AI market research synthesizes publicly available secondary sources — it cannot access paywalled analyst reports (Gartner, Forrester, IBISWorld), run surveys, or conduct customer interviews. For high-stakes decisions like market entry or M&A, AI-compiled research should serve as a foundation that you validate through direct customer conversations and domain expert consultation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between primary and secondary market research?
Secondary research analyzes existing published data — industry reports, public filings, news articles, review sites, and government statistics. Primary research generates new data through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and experiments. AI excels at secondary research compilation and synthesis. For most decisions, starting with AI-compiled secondary research helps you identify which questions require the investment of primary research, saving significant time and budget.
How accurate are AI-generated market sizing estimates?
AI market sizing derives from publicly available data points — reported revenues, analyst estimates, census data, and growth rates. These estimates are directionally useful for opportunity assessment and planning, but they carry the same limitations as any secondary data source. For investor-grade TAM calculations or market entry decisions with significant capital at risk, validate AI estimates against multiple independent sources and supplement with bottom-up analysis from your own sales data.
Can AI replace a dedicated market research team?
For companies under 50 employees, AI handles 70-80% of the secondary research that a junior analyst would do: scanning sources, structuring findings, and maintaining recurring briefs. What it cannot replace is the strategic interpretation, primary research design, and stakeholder interviews that senior researchers provide. Think of it as having a tireless research assistant who handles the compilation so your team can focus on analysis and decision-making.
What sources does the AI use for market research?
The AI draws from publicly accessible sources including company websites, press releases, SEC filings, patent databases, job posting platforms, industry publications, news outlets, government statistics, review sites like G2 and Capterra, social media, and academic research. It cannot access paywalled databases like Gartner, Forrester, or IBISWorld. All findings include source citations so you can verify claims and dig deeper into areas that matter most.
How long does it take to receive a market research brief?
Most single-topic research briefs are compiled within 2-4 hours. Complex multi-part research (like a full competitive landscape with pricing analysis across 10+ players) may take longer. Recurring briefs are delivered on your set schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly. Compare this to the 2-6 weeks typical of traditional research engagements.
