Keplar is a two-year-old startup that replaces traditional market-research agencies with an AI-powered voice assistant capable of conducting and analyzing customer interviews. Founded after co-founders Dhruv Guliani and William Wen participated in the South Park Commons fellowship, the platform turns a client’s research questions into an automated moderation guide and then calls participants to ask probing, conversational questions. If granted CRM access, the assistant can directly reach out to existing customers, and the resulting dialogues are transcribed and synthesized into reports and slide decks that mirror outputs from human consultants. Customers such as Clorox and Intercom use Keplar to obtain feedback in days rather than weeks and at a fraction of the cost of legacy methods. Advances in large language models allow the system’s voices to sound natural enough that interviewees often forget they are speaking with AI. The company positions itself against emerging competitors like Outset and Listen Labs, each of which has recently raised substantial capital.
