Bilendi Discuss Promises End-to-End Project Automation

Paris-based panels and research tech firm Bilendi has announced a major upgrade to its AI-native research platform, Discuss, which is powered by its BARI technology. Discuss now 'runs, analyses and reports on multi-country research projects in one seamless workflow.'

Bilendi collects and processes data from consumers, citizens, patients, professionals and other groups, to help researchers understand society and help 'economic and political actors to make informed decisions.' It now has more than 600 employees and 21 offices worldwide, and provides access to more than 4 million participants through proprietary panels in 44 countries.

Users of the new Discuss system need only define their research objective, according to Bilendi. Participants engage via familiar channels such as WhatsApp or through a social-style web experience. BARI (Bilendi Artificial Research Intelligence) then takes care of questionnaire design, structures interactions, analyses every response in real time, and generates a ready-to-use PowerPoint report with insights and recommendations.

Participants can respond in text, voice, video or images, and the platform is multi-lingual. BARI stays on-hand to suggest follow-up questions, detect emerging themes, structure large volumes of input, and interpret 'raw expression into actionable insight.' Bilendi says multi-country projects are now managed in a single, unified environment, and new languages are deployed 'in minutes' through automated translation, localisation and scripting. BARI is sensitive to cultural differences, the firm says, reshaping guides and questions to 'local norms, expressions and sensitivities.' Reporting can address specific countries or give a board picture across them.

'With this release, we are removing the structural limits of international research,' says CEO and founder Marc Bidou (pictured). 'By unifying multi-country operations in a single AI-driven workflow and enabling real-time cross-market intelligence, we empower teams to move from questions to global insight faster than ever. Bilendi Discuss is no longer just a research platform - it is an intelligence engine for organisations operating at scale.'
