Choose the right market research method
AI desk research is useful for secondary research, but it does not replace direct evidence from customers. Combine methods according to the decision and the evidence you need.
| Research decision | MiniMax Agent desk research | Survey platform | Interviews or research panel | Social listening platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Exploring a market, comparing competitors, and structuring public evidence | Collecting standardized answers from people you can reach | Understanding motivations, language, context, and unmet needs | Monitoring public conversations on supported networks |
| Main evidence | Public webpages and the research context you provide | Responses submitted through a questionnaire | Direct qualitative responses from recruited participants | Public posts and engagement data available to the platform |
| Research type | Secondary research | Primary quantitative research | Primary qualitative research | Observational research |
| Typical output | Source-based findings, comparisons, hypotheses, and evidence gaps | Response data, distributions, and cross-tabulations | Notes, themes, quotes, and behavioral context | Conversation trends, themes, mentions, and sentiment signals |
| Important limitation | Public information can be incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent | Results depend on question design, sample access, and response quality | Small samples require careful recruitment and interpretation | Online conversations may not represent the whole target market |
