Rival turns the conversational platform mass-panels couldn't be into a research operating system — and shows you exactly what your customer is thinking, in their own language.
Rival is engineered for the way insights teams have to work — fast, mobile, and in the moment your customer is forming the opinion. Three products. One conversational research operating system.
Reach consumers in the moments where opinions actually form — on mobile, on chat, on their terms.
Ask the whole question in a single layer. Watch faces. Read words. See the data. Go deeper without rebooking.
AI-powered theming, automated reads, and patterns surfaced before you'd see them in a static dashboard.
Purpose-built AI for insight teams: trained on conversational data, governed by human researchers, and explainable when stakeholders push back.
"It's refreshing to work with a partner designing AI solutions that amplify what researchers do best. The first platform that's made me feel optimistic about AI, by researchers for researchers."
From always-on insight communities to one-off agile sprints — Rival adapts to the speed and depth of the question you're asking.
Always-on access to a living, breathing panel of real customers — engage in your category, your language, and your moments.

"Launching our insight community on Rival has been the difference between us being a research function and us actually shipping strategy."
"I never call Rival a vendor. They're a partner in every sense — strategic, fast, and genuinely interested in the answer being right, not just the deliverable being on time."
"The conversational aspect of Rival's chat makes our census-and-set research in general much more rigorous to actually consumers, especially when designing programs from scratch."
