"twitter:title": "Research | Minds" --- Minds Team # **Research** Peer-reviewed papers and technical white papers from the Minds research team — on synthetic personas, multi-agent creativity, and AI-driven market research. # Research We publish peer-reviewed papers and technical white papers on the methods behind Minds. Our research covers synthetic persona design, multi-agent systems, creative diversity in LLM outputs, and the future of AI-driven market research. ## Latest Papers - [The Spark Effect: On Engineering Creative Diversity in Multi-Agent AI Systems](https://getminds.ai/research/spark-effect-creative-diversity-multi-agent-ai) — Persona-conditioned LLM agents deliver a +4.1 point diversity gain over uniform prompts, closing 82% of the gap to human experts. ## Research Areas ### Synthetic Personas How do you build AI personas that faithfully represent real-world consumer segments? We study the design, calibration, and validation of synthetic personas for market research. ### Multi-Agent Creativity Single-agent LLM systems converge on homogeneous outputs. Our multi-agent Spark architecture uses persona-conditioned agents to intentionally diversify ideation — producing outputs that approach human-level creative diversity. ### AI Evaluation & Benchmarking LLM-as-a-judge protocols are fast but biased. We develop calibration methods that quantify and mitigate evaluator bias against human gold standards. ### Applied Market Research From concept testing to brand strategy, we study how synthetic panels perform against traditional qualitative research methods — and where the limits are.
