Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Juno (heyjuno.co) is an AI-based qualitative research platform positioned as a "research agent" that teams brief with a question they need answered. The system covers three stages of a study: it designs the brief (determining who to speak to, what to test and how many interviews are needed, and flagging problems such as a screener that fails to separate active from recently-cancelled members), conducts the interviews with human participants (following up on answers and probing for reasons), and then analyzes the evidence, producing themes and claims that are linked back to the participant quotes supporting them.

Study setup includes configurable parameters such as interview duration, total number of interviews and primary language. Juno states it interviews people in their own language and on their own time, with support for more than 100 languages and access to a global panel of 21 million people; customers can also use their own participants. Typical research questions the company cites include why customers switch to competitors, willingness to pay by age group, unmet needs in a category, market-launch decisions and concept testing.

The company describes three deployment modes: briefing Juno directly as a member of an internal team; embedding Juno inside a customer's product so it can speak with end users at the point of use; and exposing Juno to software agents via APIs, so an agent that hits a question existing data cannot answer can commission research from real people (an example call returns a summary, a confidence score and a source count). Developer documentation is published for API access.

Business model

Juno sells access to an AI research agent used by client teams to commission and run qualitative studies. It is offered as a platform that teams brief directly, as a component embedded within a customer's own product to interview end users, and as an API that other software and AI agents can call to obtain research from human participants. Participant sourcing can be handled by the customer or supplied by Juno.

Traction

Published customer studies include work with OFX via Digital Village, which reached validated customer journeys in five days; The Arthritis Movement, which ran a study with 239 participants, 6,433 messages and 99 hours in field that fed into national policy; and G+S Communications, which ran 200 qualitative interviews for its Climate Sentiment in Australia 2025 report. The company cites a global panel of 21 million people and support for more than 100 languages. A public status page reports the Juno application at 100% uptime and no known system issues.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography

Market position

Juno positions itself around encoded research judgment — the site cites 25+ years of research practice built into the agent, covering methodology, competencies, participant handling and safety — and around traceability, with each analytic claim linked to the interview evidence behind it. It emphasises interviews with real humans rather than synthetic responses, multilingual reach and the ability to be embedded in products and called by other agents.

Technology

An agentic system that scopes research briefs, challenges assumptions in a brief, adapts as it learns, tests its own interpretations and signals when evidence is insufficient. It conducts conversational interviews with follow-up probing, then runs analysis across transcripts to produce themes and claims tied to underlying participant quotes. The platform supports over 100 languages and exposes APIs (juno.ask) that return a summary, a confidence value and the number of sources used.

Go-to-market

Direct positioning toward agencies, brands, institutions and research teams, supported by published case studies of completed studies. A developer-facing API and documentation extend distribution into customers' own products and agent workflows.

Agencies, brand teams, institutions and in-house research teams. Named use cases include an agency mapping customer journeys for a financial services client, a patient advocacy organisation informing national policy, and a communications firm producing a national sentiment study.

Geography

Customer studies referenced involve Australian organisations and participants, including a national Australian climate sentiment study and a member referenced in NSW. Juno states it can reach participants anywhere via a global panel and interviews in over 100 languages.
