§ I Promise
8 layers · 20 min · from €29

Honest feedback in 20 minutes. Not from a prompt. From a persona.

Radical Personas puts your website, ad, email, or product idea in front of synthetic personas — and returns Scores, reasoned feedback, and a citable PDF report.

Radical Personas is a synthetic user research tool for early-stage marketing, UX, and product feedback.

Before avg. 42 days from €2,000
Now < 20 min €3 max

Traditional UX research averages 42 days and starts at €2,000 per study. With Radical Personas: under 20 minutes and no more than €3 per Review.

§ III Process
How it works

Three steps to feedback with a stance, a rationale, and the exact passage to back it up.

  1. 01

    Add your object

    App screenshot: choosing the object type in the Review wizard

    Eight object types, from a single social media post to an entire website — whatever carries your message, your Personas will review it.

    • Website
    • Ad
    • Email
    • Logo
    • Social Media
    • Product
    • Proposal Check
    • Ask the Room
  2. 02

    Choose Personas + Criteria

    App screenshot: the Persona Library for choosing your target audience

    Over 60 synthetic personas ready to use, filterable by Life-World and bias — new ones are added every week. Plus ready-made Criteria templates for every object type.

  3. 03

    Review in ~20 minutes

    App screenshot: a finished Review with Scores and Persona feedback

    Scores per criterion, verbatim comments from every Persona, an AI summary, a PDF report — and afterward, you go straight into a conversation with the Personas.

“Three superlatives, zero evidence. Anyone who wants to sell me something needs to argue with more rigor.”
Persona #030 · Hannah Bergmann · NGO project lead · On a health-supplement landing page
Persona Chat

The Review is just the beginning.

Every Persona stays available after the Review — in character, with memory of what they said. Ask why a Score turned out the way it did, or what would have convinced them. An interview that takes minutes, not weeks.

6.6/10
Why only 6.6 out of 10?
The site comes across as competent, but it still owes me proof. I see promises — no reference clients, no numbers. At my level, trust is delivered, not felt.
What would it take to convince you?
A named client with results, a methodology I can follow, a price without asterisks. Deliver that — and the 6.6 quickly becomes an 8.0.
What did you like?
The clear structure, and the absence of theatrics. I take that seriously. Now back it up with the same substance.

§ IV Limits
To be honest

Synthetic personas complement real user research — they don't replace it (Nielsen Norman Group, 2025).

Who’s behind it

Radical Personas is a synthetic user research tool from Austria — built by two founders in Linz, with two decades of hands-on persona work behind them.

The math

A weak message usually surfaces after weeks in the market. Here, it surfaces in 20 minutes.

Sample report (German) — cover page
The end result

The result is a PDF that holds up in meetings.

A scorecard for every criterion, verbatim comments from each Persona, and an AI summary — formatted for stakeholders, not dashboards.

§ VII Testimonials
What customers say

What our customers use it for.

Independent professionals and small teams from the German-speaking market (DACH) who use Radical Personas in their day-to-day work — from websites to ads to positioning. Quotes translated from German.

I run every new episode past several Personas. I see right away where the message loses people — and sharpen it before the episode goes live.

Podcast Strategist & Coach · TheAngryTeddy
With Radical Personas, I test ads and posts on matching audiences before they run. That makes my recommendations defensible — I can show why something works.
Mario Hilger
Mario Hilger
Social Media Manager
I had my positioning reflected back to me by very different personalities. I would never have seen those blind spots on my own.
Petra Baumgarthuber

Finally, feedback that comes with reasons — not just “like it” or “don’t like it.” Very valuable for growing my business.

Honest feedback from your target group is hard to come by. With Radical Personas, I have it in minutes — backed by real reasoning, not just a number.
Georg Gumpinger
Georg Gumpinger
Managing Director · Gut&Co Test & Consulting
The Personas read my website like a skeptical board: polite in tone, merciless on substance. Exactly the sparring you’d want from colleagues — and never get.
Thomas Moshammer
Thomas Moshammer
Mentor Coach for Executives
In the Persona test, the young trainee instructor and the mid-career switcher debate our course page at the same time — and they thoroughly disagree. Exactly the friction we need before the season starts, not once the course is underway.
Johann Reisenberger
Johann Reisenberger
COO · Snowsports Academy
My clients are at a turning point in their careers — one wrong phrase, and interest turns into hesitation. Luckily, the Personas hesitate out loud: they tell me which sentence they get stuck on, and why.
