Questions before you begin.
The questions follow your decision: what Svava does for you, whether you can trust it, why Svava, how to get the organisation on board and how to get started.
What Svava does for you
What can we use Svava for?
For the questions you would otherwise guess at or wait weeks to have answered. Why do customers hesitate over the offer? Which of three headlines makes them read on? How is a price increase received by different customer groups? You let profiles of your customer groups read a message, a campaign line, an offer, an invoice, an image or a whole concept, and see where they agree and where they come apart. With the Chrome extension they can also read a web page, a draft in Figma or a page that has not been published yet.
What can it look like in practice?
You put in a price notice and let the Focus Group Leader gather three customer groups to read it. Based on their reactions you move the amount higher up, add that the customer does not need to do anything, and test again. The same afternoon you have a version that works for all three.
What do we get back?
A short summary of what was said and what got in the way, a ranking of what weighs most for each group, a map of where the groups come apart, and quotes linked to the profile that said them. It goes straight into the next version or into the basis for a decision.
What do we gain from it?
You get answers the same day the question comes up, instead of after a survey that takes weeks. You can try ten versions of a message before you spend money on one, and you go into every decision with a picture of how the customer groups will react and why. The surveys you still run become sharper, because you already know what is worth measuring.
Who in the organisation uses Svava?
Mainly marketing, brand, CRM and customer insight. But everyone who writes to customers benefits from it: customer service testing reply templates, product teams testing new flows, and finance wanting to know how an invoice is read.
Does Svava work for B2B or niche audiences?
Yes. Ideally you then build the profiles on your own customer conversations. With Ciao Nova you invite customers to voice interviews via a link, and the conversations then become profiles in Svava.

Can Svava predict how customers react?
Yes, in the way that matters when you develop communication and offers: which version is strongest, which objections come up, which words land and where the customer groups want different things.
What decides how close the profiles come to reality is the source material. Researchers at Stanford built AI profiles of just over 1,000 real people. Profiles with rich source material matched the people’s answers 86 per cent as well as the people themselves did two weeks later. Profiles that were only given a demographic description reached 74 per cent. That is why every profile in Svava is built on hundreds of data points about the customer group, not on a three-line persona.
Read the studyAre we talking to real customers?
No, you are talking to synthetic profiles that represent your customer groups. That means you can ask whenever you want, as many times as you want, and test ten versions the same day. When you want to hear your real customers, Ciao Nova carries out voice interviews with them.
What are synthetic audiences?Why not just ask ChatGPT or build our own GPT?
An ordinary AI answers convincingly, but it knows nothing about your customers and cannot show what the answer is based on. In Svava every answer rests on data about the customer group, and you can open a report under the answer and see which data points have been linked to it. The working methods are also in place: the Profile Selector helps you choose perspectives, and the In-depth Interviewer, the Focus Group Leader and the Workshop Facilitator lead interviews, focus groups and workshops for you.
What is Svava best at?
At showing how customers value and prioritise: what weighs most, which objections come up and where the customer groups want different things. Those are exactly the answers that decide whether a message, an offer or a concept holds up, and you get them before you have spent anything on production.
Can we show what an answer is based on?
Yes. Under every answer there is a report showing which data points and reasoning it rests on. That makes it easy to take a conclusion to colleagues and management and show why it holds.
Why Svava
What sets Svava apart from other AI tools for audiences?
Three things. The profiles are built on Swedish segmentation data and your own source material, not on what an AI model guesses about an audience. Every answer can be traced, so you can show colleagues and management what a conclusion is based on. And the working methods are in place, so you get useful results from day one.
What are the profiles based on?
On your own customer data, licensed Swedish segmentation data or both. With segmentation data every profile has more than 600 data points: purchasing power, values, interests, channels and how the group differs from the rest of the population. Your own data is added on top, so that the profiles reflect your particular customers. That is the difference between a three-line persona and a customer perspective you can reason with.
Can we add our own data?
Yes. Customer records, campaign response, customer satisfaction scores, product holdings, support cases and interviews make the profiles more accurate for you. Then you can ask something like: “How do customers who already have one of our services respond to the offer for the next one?”
Are the profiles copies of real people?
No. A profile represents a customer group, not an individual.
Getting the organisation on board
How does Svava fit with the surveys and the agency we already have?
Svava makes them worth more. You try ideas and versions before you commission a survey, so that the measurement is spent on what actually needs to be settled. The profiles show differences between customer groups, and the survey gives the percentages. The agency gets a stronger basis to work from, and the insight department can answer more questions than the survey budget covers.
What do IT and data protection need to know?
Your data is stored on a dedicated server within the EU. The AI models do not train on it and nothing is shared between customers. Your administrators control who sees what, per user, project and app. You get data processing agreements and security documentation via dataskydd@svava.io.

Can we try it before we decide?
Yes. Already in the first meeting we build an example with your customer groups and a question you are actually wrestling with. If you then want to try Svava in real work, you can start with a pilot.
How much of our time does it take?
Not much. The first meeting is 30 minutes, and you do not need any data of your own in place to begin. After that, a question to the profiles takes minutes, not weeks.
What does it cost?
Svava is licensed per organisation. The price depends on how many people will use Svava, which data the profiles will be built on, which apps you need and how much support you want. In the first meeting you find out what it costs for you.
How do we buy Svava?
Directly from us or through a partner. Public sector organisations buy Svava today, and we help you find the route that suits your procurement.
What support do we get?
We make sure Svava becomes part of how you work. You get training in asking questions that produce useful answers, drop-ins where you bring a real case, meetups with other users and ongoing follow-up.
