Make sense of every study, and see what you’re missing.

Present findings that land, analyze your data and what consumers say, and bring every report into one Research Base of sourced facts.

Dr. Evelyn Reed and Dr. Theodore Sinclair are fictional personas.

A note from John

Dr. John EnnisCEO, Aigora

I grew up in this field, and I care deeply about the people in it. The reason I founded Aigora in 2019 was to help the field prepare for the AI wave that is currently happening. Since then, we’ve worked alongside hundreds of sensory and consumer scientists at dozens of leading companies to help them prepare for and implement AI.

Theus brings our technology and education together in one place. What makes this launch so special for me is the chance to reach scientists we may never have worked with directly.

Theus is named after Prometheus, the famous mythical figure who brought fire from the gods. Fire, like AI, is a powerful technology that is wonderful when properly managed but disastrous when allowed to run wild. And that's the idea of Theus, to take the power of AI and put it into key moments in sensory and consumer science workflows where it can amplify the expertise of the scientists using it.

Theus is a living product, and I can't wait to hear what helps people the most. Through proper use of AI, sensory and consumer science will take its rightful place at the heart of the companies where it is practiced.

Best wishes,

John

See the evidence behind an answer

Supported reasoning traces to source. When the evidence is silent, Theus says so. Panel output is a hypothesis, not field data, and human review is required.

Texture was the leading driver of repeat purchase in four of the six segments, ahead of sweetness and protein content.

Texture is the top repeat-purchase driver in 4 of 6 segments.

Every fact keeps its source

The same facts power questions and Panel sessions. Illustrative example.

Why not Copilot, Gemini Notebook, or Stravito?

Each one does a different job well. Theus keeps research evidence intact.

Frequently asked questions

What is Theus and how does it work?

Theus (Twin Human Experience Understanding System) is a research memory platform for sensory and consumer science. It processes your historical research (PDFs, tables, transcripts, panel results, sensory profiles) through a four-stage pipeline into a governed Research Base of atomic facts with page-level citations. In Expert, Dr. Sinclair answers questions across studies and surfaces contradictions and gaps. In Panel, Dr. Reed moderates a synthetic consumer discussion on the same evidence. Both personas are fictional.

How is Theus different from prompting ChatGPT with research documents?

A general assistant reads passages and writes a plausible summary. Theus keeps study design, method, sample, and statistical qualifiers attached to each fact, shows where studies disagree, says when the evidence cannot support a conclusion, and is designed to attach Fact IDs with page-level citations for inspection. Outputs still require human review.

Which Theus plan is right for me?

Theus Lite is for sharing your work: presentations, reports and decks that land with your team, other teams and executives. Theus Pro adds analysis and intelligence, with your own research as a searchable knowledge base, public data, social media and open-ended responses. Theus Enterprise builds one knowledge base from your whole company's research, shared across your team. The plans page compares them side by side.

Should Theus replace traditional research?

No. Theus is built for exploration and knowledge discovery, not definitive market validation. Use it to find what your studies already show, spot the gaps worth investigating, and sharpen a concept before you spend on fieldwork. Panel output is a modeled hypothesis and never becomes an empirical fact.

What is Theus security posture?

Aigora is in final preparation for its independent SOC 2 Type II examination. Current deployments inherit controls from Vercel and Neon. Default workspaces are ephemeral (24-hour cache) unless durable storage is enabled by an organization admin. Avatars expire after 72 hours, and sign-in uses Google or Microsoft (OAuth), passkeys, email codes, or passwords, with OAuth-only as an option. Client data is not used to train foundation models.

How does Theus process my research?

A four-stage multimodal pipeline (normalize, visual understanding, extract, validate) reads each page as text and image together. Charts are interpreted, statistical notation is preserved, and sensory metrics are extracted with their context. A page typically yields 20 to 30 atomic facts, each with a page-level citation you can verify.

Who built Theus?

Theus is built by Aigora, a company founded in 2019 by Dr. John Ennis, a mathematician with 30+ years in sensory and consumer science, 50+ peer-reviewed publications, and 4 published books. Theus is in use by leading sensory and consumer insights companies. Aigora has also published or presented with leading CPG and ingredients organizations.

How does Theus relate to Forethought?

Theus is the Memory layer; Forethought is the Foresight layer. Theus turns your research into a cited, traceable evidence base. Forethought then builds synthetic consumer panels on that evidence and simulates a category appraisal before you commission fieldwork. With Theus in place, a Forethought panel anchors against your actual evidence, so the personas sound like your category and the attribute structure reflects what your real panels have already shown.
