24 alternatives to Roundtable – Survey fraud and bot detection API

Hi HN, we're Mayank and Matt of Roundtable (https://www.roundtable.ai). We launched our Survey Simulator as part of YC S23 (see Launch HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36865625), and ultimately decided to pivot because we couldn't convince users to trust our results and our value proposition wasn't clear. We conducted tons of user discovery interviews, and a lot of big players talked about the pain of manual QC and bot detection. We launched a survey fraud and bot detection API (Alias; docs.roundtable.ai) that determines whether a bot is answering your survey…

Roundtable is an API that detects survey fraud and bot responses by embedding JavaScript into survey platforms like Forsta, Qualtrics, and jsPsych. It tracks user behavior patterns to identify whether responses come… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi HN, we’re Matt and Mayank of Roundtable. We’re launching RoundtableJS, an open-source library (https://github.com/roundtableAI/roundtable-js) to program research surveys at scale. Academic and market researchers want a DIY platform for survey research. Most existing tools are no-code, and these researchers want programmatic software that handles advanced branching logic and customization. We know this because we spent five years using open-source survey software for our academic work. One of the key insights of RoundtableJS is to leverage JavaScript’s async/await…

    Recent academic work ([1], [2]) has suggested that LLMs can effectively simulate different Internet subpopulations. For example, you may ask ChatGPT to emulate being a high school teacher explaining Newton’s laws of physics. Building upon this, we created Roundtable, a platform that uses LLMs to predict how people will respond to any arbitrary survey question. To do so, we needed to first reduce bias arising from GPT’s training procedure. Because these models are primarily trained on Internet data, they can be heavily skewed towards the demographics of heavy Internet users (e.g.,…

    Hey HN, This is a Show HN (poorly) disguised as an Ask HN. I'm launching https://www.parliant.ai, a survey tool that rethinks how surveys are created and answered. Instead of building forms, the survey creator just writes what they want to learn and AI takes it from there, chatting with respondents to get meaningful answers. To show how it works, I’ve created a short demo survey with the question in the title. The idea is for you to try it out and see the respondent experience, which is really the core of the innovation. I’d love to get your answers and your feedback. The survey is…
