Hit or Miss? Live audience predictions with AI


Sami Arpa
CEO, Largo.ai

In this forward-looking session, Largo.ai demonstrates how simulated focus group technology is revolutionizing the way industry evaluates content. Two selected TV projects will be analyzed using advanced AI tools that simulate audience reactions to key aspects such as emotional engagement, character appeal, narrative structure, and market fit in a similar manner to the traditional focus groups.

The producers/owners of the selected projects will join Sami Arpa, CEO of Largo.ai, live on stage to submit their shows to a detailed breakdown of the simulated audience insights provided by Largo.ai, providing a rapid look into how their content is likely to resonate across different demographics of audience.
