Aaru, the AI startup that guesses consumer behavior

Aaru, a US artificial intelligence startup, claims to predict consumer decisions with high accuracy and well in advance of traditional market research. Founded in 2024 by three young entrepreneurs, including 19 and 18-year-old CEO and president, and 15-year-old CTO, the company has already attracted clients like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Comcast, and Omnicom Group.

Aaru's predictive model uses thousands of AI agents to simulate human behavior and has been valued at $1 billion after a recent investment round. The company has partnered with consulting firm EY, which tested Aaru's model on a global survey of 3,600 high net worth individuals, achieving more accurate results in less time.
