One platform. From the first question to the last decision.
Most companies collect data in one tool, understand it in another and act on it in a third — losing meaning at every handoff. Mobile Institute is the single environment where a question reaches a person, an answer becomes a model, and a model becomes an action.
The survey lives in a survey tool. The reviews live on the storefront. The purchase history lives in the ERP. The dashboard lives in a BI licence nobody logs into. And the one thing you actually wanted — do something about it, today, automatically — lives nowhere at all.
Every integration you bolt on is another place where context dies.
One engine. Every capability speaks the same language, shares the same access control, writes to the same activity log, and can trigger every other one.
Collect.
Declarative and behavioural, in every channel your customers actually use.
Conversational surveys that feel like a chat, not a form. Embeddable widgets and post-purchase feedback. E-commerce and POS integrations. Web signals, scrapers, in-store vision and beacons. If your customers leave a trace, we can read it.
Understand.
Raw input lands in canonical models we designed over years of market research.
Respondents, purchases, products, services, venues, segments, demographics. Enrichment, validation and computed attributes run the moment data arrives. Queries, boards, KPIs and AI agents on top of your own knowledge bases. Not a chart of what happened — an answer to what to do.
Act.
This is where most platforms stop and we start.
Flows chain any action into any process — automated, or with a human approval step where judgement belongs. Mailings that react to the buying journey. Alerts to Slack, Teams or email the moment a metric moves. Recommendations, loyalty, coupons, communities, support conversations. Your data doesn't end in a report. It starts a process.
AI inside, not beside
Agents that do the work, not just describe it.
Most "AI features" are a chatbot stapled to a database. Ours sits inside the engine: it sees the data, respects the permissions, and can invoke any action the platform has — with an audit entry for every step.
Ask your data in plain language
Chats over your own datasets and knowledge bases. "Why did NPS drop in Kraków last month?" returns an answer with the events behind it — not a chart to interpret.
Agents with skills and tools
Agents code open-ended answers, enrich records, draft reports, triage tickets and run flows. Every action they take goes through the same permissions and lands in the same log as a human's.
Conversational surveys
Surveys that adapt to the answer, probe when it is vague and stop when it is enough. Higher completion, richer verbatims, coded on arrival.
Open to your agents over MCP
Every capability is exposed to external AI agents through MCP. Your assistant, your copilot, your stack — talking to live data instead of exports.
Pillar one · ice
Market research.
Understanding data. Our own data models and methodologies, worked out over years of studying markets: how to ask so an answer means something, how to describe a respondent, a purchase and a segment so that five sources speak about one reality — and how to tell a finding from noise.
Pillar two · fire
Technology.
AI, scale, tools, platform. An engine that collects from every channel, processes at write time, serves analytics live and turns a conclusion into automatic action — for a hundred customers at once.
Yin and yang. Water and fire. Two founders, one company.
Apart, each of these is a commodity: a research agency without technology delivers PDFs once a quarter, and a platform without methodology is an empty tool where the customer has to know what to ask and how to count it. Together they make something neither side builds alone — which is why our domain models live inside the platform, not in consultants' heads.

Sebastian
Builds the engine: components, actions, flows, agents. Fifteen years on one system, rebuilt so that every next solution is a configuration, not a project.
Why it's different
Everything is a component. Nothing is a silo.
Spaces, Resources and Capabilities mean every solution we ship is a configuration of the same engine — not a separate product with its own database, its own login and its own gaps.
A new solution is days, not quarters.
Blueprints and configurators, not a rewrite.
One access model, everywhere.
Granular permissions and roles across every resource.
Everything is auditable.
Every action — a UI click, an API call, an agent — lands in one activity log.
Every capability is callable from everywhere.
UI, API, scheduler, flow, or an external AI agent over MCP. Same action, same rules.
It grows without forking.
Tasks, Events, Intents and Plugins extend the engine instead of copying it.
Five layers
The lower the layer, the more it is shared.
Products on top are configurations of what lies underneath. Open any layer to see what's inside.
Self-service reviews for e-commerce, POS and manufacturers — plus loyalty and consumer communities.
The same platform as enterprise, with a blueprint instead of an implementation. Start with reviews; when you grow, unlock components instead of migrating.
Custom solutions
Dedicated platforms for a specific customer or industry, on the shared engine.
Tailored, for a fraction of what a system from scratch costs — because 90% already exists and is maintained together. A fix in the engine reaches everyone at once.
Onboarding & Self-service
Customer onboarding and self-service.
The condition for the platform to grow faster than the team. Acquisition cost stops scaling with customer count.
Articles & Publications
Publishing reports and articles, marketplace.
A report is built from live data in the system, not a hand-assembled file. Close a study to publication in days, not weeks.
MCP
Exposing Mobile Institute capabilities to external AI agents.
More and more questions about data are asked by someone's assistant, not a person in a panel. Our data becomes reachable from tools the customer already uses.
Canonical data models
Our own schemas for tracking opinion and context — respondents, purchases, e-commerce, services, HoReCa, products, demographics, segments.
The distillate of years of research, saved as a structure. Customers don't start from an empty table — they get a model that has already worked on their market.
Signals
Collecting and analysing non-declarative data.
People say one thing and do another, and the second is usually truer. Signal and declaration describe the same person in one profile — the gap becomes the most interesting finding of the study.
KPIs
Events from many sources, metric computation, KPI tracking.
A KPI is a definition in the system, not a formula in somebody's spreadsheet. Every number decomposes to the events it came from.
Calendar & Business Events
Business events — entered or computed — visualised on boards.
"NPS dropped in March" becomes "NPS dropped after the refit". Correlation you can see, instead of root-cause analysis three months later.
Loyalty
Onboarding to loyalty programmes, stamps, coupons.
A loyalty programme is the best data source a brand has: identity, purchase history and consent in one. Here it feeds research and segmentation directly.
Connect, e-Commerce & Reco
CMS and e-commerce integrations, recommendation engine, order and complaint processing, service tracking.
Closes the loop: an order triggers a question, the answer improves a recommendation, the recommendation shapes the next order. Research wired into sales, not beside it.
Forms, Campaigns & Aliases
Survey and form engine — declarative data, including conversational surveys.
A conversational survey turns a form into a chat, and people finish chats more often than forms. One engine serves the panel study and the widget at the till.
Mailings
Marketing mailings to selected groups, reactions to buying-journey events, multi-step campaigns, blacklisting.
The audience is a query on live data, not a CSV exported a month ago. Mail goes out on an event — not on Thursday because Thursday is newsletter day.
Instapps & Widgets
Embeddable widgets, interstitials, chats and reporting forms.
Context arrives with the answer: which page, after which purchase, at which moment. That usually says more than the answer itself.
Support, Messages, Tickets & Chats
Support chats, customer conversations, inbox handling, cases, Slack / Teams / WhatsApp integrations.
The complaint and the survey result sit side by side. An NPS drop in one store maps to this week's tickets without stitching two exports.
Tribes
Communities — events, idea collection, Q&A, posts, comments, discussions.
A community is a research panel that maintains itself. People come for value to them and happen to be available when you want to ask.
Scrapers
Crawling the web for opinions, prices and leads.
Most opinions about a brand are formed where the brand is not asking. Collected reviews land in the same models — and count towards the same indicators — as surveys.
Computer Vision & Beacons
In-store data collection and store optimisation.
Closes the last gap: declaration ("I would buy"), transaction ("bought") and behaviour ("stopped, looked, left") in one place.
Data & Models
Storage, schema management, computed attributes, enrichment, validation and data-entry forms.
Enrichment runs at write time. No nightly batch after which the report is "current now" — a record knows more about itself than the respondent said.
Flows & Automation
Chains actions into processes — automation, custom logic, external integrations, schedulers and event handlers.
A flow can call every action in the platform, because everything is an action. One mechanism instead of ten point integrations.
Human Tasks & Approvals
Pause an action until a person approves; flows can generate work for humans.
A person is a step in the process, not an exception to it. Automation does not stop where judgement begins — it asks for it and carries on.
AI & Agents
Agent engine, knowledge bases, skills, AI chats, MCP.
The agent lives inside the platform — it sees the data, knows the permissions and can invoke any action. A worker with tools and an audit trail, not a chatbot bolted onto a database.
Analytics, Queries & Boards
Analysis, normalisation, charts, dashboards.
Analytics reads the same models the data landed in. No export, no ETL, no gap between what the analyst sees and what the system holds.
Files, Attachments & Media
File storage with access control; attachments in datasets and surveys.
A file is a resource like any other — it inherits permissions, enters flows, can be handed to an AI agent for recognition. A shelf photo becomes data.
Alerts & Notifications
Generate alerts and route them to people.
An alert is an entry into a process, not an email that something changed. It lands in Slack with the right owner and can open a task with a deadline.
Experiments & Toggles
A/B tests, experiments, feature toggles — with impact measurement.
"Variant B won" means "variant B raised NPS", not "variant B had a better click rate". Evidence, not a proxy.
Accounts & Users
Accounts, users, authentication — social login included.
One identity across the platform: the same person is a respondent, a community member and a dashboard user — and we know it is the same person. That is what makes data joinable at all.
Spaces, Resources & Capabilities
The component engine. A survey, a dataset, a board, a flow, a bucket — all resources of one kind, living in a customer's space.
Add one resource and it inherits access control, activity log, API, stats, billing and flow integration for free. Competitors rewrite all of that for every feature.
Activities & Actions
Every activity is logged; every action can be invoked from UI, API, another resource, MCP, a scheduler or a flow.
An action written once works everywhere with the same rules and the same audit entry. The log is simultaneously audit, statistics and invoice.
Tasks, Events, Intents & Plugins
The execution engine: background tasks, application events, intents ("what should I do now?") and plugins.
Intents let a new capability join an existing process without touching old code. The system asks; the components answer.
Access Control
Roles and granular permissions on every resource.
Permissions are a property of the resource, not a system beside it. A new component type is secured on day one — nothing ships "open for now".
Infrastructure
Scalable infrastructure under everything.
Scale is the platform's problem, not the project's. Nobody sizes a study to fit a server.
Billing
Billing engine and invoicing.
Billing is computed from the same activity log as statistics — so the invoice always matches what the customer sees in the panel.
Configuration & Blueprints
Configurators and a library of ready solution templates.
A blueprint turns experience into product. What we learnt with one customer, the next one gets as a starting point.
Monitoring & Statistics
System monitoring and per-resource statistics.
Every resource publishes its own stats. Customers see the health of their solution through the same mechanism we use to see the health of the platform.
UX & Admin
The internal panel and its polish.
Every hour spent on the panel comes back as an hour not spent on support — and a customer who does things alone.
What we build on it
The same platform. Very different answers.
Continuous voice of customer
NPS, CES, CSI and NBS tracked live, with alerts the moment a location, product or segment starts sliding — and the flow that routes it to whoever can fix it.
Market research at scale
Wave studies, segmentation, personas, concept testing and pricing — designed, fielded, cleaned, analysed and published without leaving the system.
Self-service reviews & loyalty
For e-commerce, retail and manufacturers. Ratings, stamps, coupons and consumer communities that turn buyers into a panel you own.
Custom solutions on shared foundations
Industry-specific platforms that get the whole engine — data models, automation, billing, access control — and add only what is genuinely unique to them.
Built for the people who actually use it
Research teams
Design a study, field it, clean it and report it in one place. Open-ended coding, weighting and canonical models included.
CX & marketing
See the metric move and act on it the same hour, in the same tool, without filing a ticket.
Product & operations
Experiments, feature toggles, KPIs from any source, and automation that turns a signal into a task with an owner.
Engineering
An API-first platform where every capability is an action. Extend it with plugins, drive it from your stack, or hand it to your own AI agents over MCP.
Your data, governed properly.
Granular access control down to the resource. A full audit trail on every action. Consent, retention and deletion handled as first-class parts of the data model — not as an afterthought bolted on before an audit.
