01 / What is a synthetic buyerprovv
The concept, in plain English

What is a synthetic buyer?

Not a made up persona. A buyer modeled from real customer and prospect conversations across your market, so it reacts the way they would, with the language to prove it.

Most AI personas
Invented from a prompt. They flatter the copy and tell you what you hoped to hear.
Provv buyers
Modeled from real conversations. They push back, name the losing line, and bounce weak copy.
The engine
01
Agents read the market.
/ Crawl
Provv runs agents that crawl thousands of public sources where your buyers and prospects already talk. Reviews, forums, Reddit threads, comparison posts, podcast transcripts, public social discussion. The places opinion gets formed, not the places it gets polished.
02
It understands what it reads.
/ Cluster
The agents do not just collect text. They cluster the distinct kinds of buyer that keep showing up, the patterns in how the market talks, what it wants, and what it refuses to buy. The intelligence is in the modeling. The patterns are already in the data, Provv finds them.
03
It models real buyers from real conversations.
/ Model
Each buyer is reconstructed from the actual language of real customers and prospects in your category, so it reacts the way they would. Every reaction ships with the receipts behind it, kept current as the conversation moves.

02 / The problemprovv

Sendand pray is the last unexamined habit in marketing.

Engineers test the code. Finance models the downside. Sales runs discovery before the pitch. Marketing writes the words that decide whether anyone shows up at all, then ships them on a guess and reads the dashboard a week later, when it's too late to change a single word.

Real testing cost a budget and three weeks, so the headline, the email, the ad, the pricing line all went out untested. The loudest internal opinion won. The buyer was never asked.

"I think this lands, but I won't know until it's live."
"Legal and the founder both have opinions, and none of us are the buyer."
"We shipped the headline everyone loved internally and it did nothing."
"Three weeks and a budget I don't have, for a Tuesday subject line."
03 / How it worksprovv
01

Grounded, not invented.

Provv reads what your buyers already say in public, across reviews, forums, and threads, and builds a small panel of distinct buyers from real patterns. Click any buyer to see the quotes behind them. No archetypes someone guessed at.

REVIEW“support is fine, but onboarding ate two weeks of my life.”
FORUM“we picked them because the docs were written by adults.”
THREAD“price is the price. it's the migration I'm scared of.”

Drop in the copy.

Headline, value prop, pricing line, cold email, ad. The panel reacts in character. One nails the concern. One names the exact line that lost them. One raises the objection that would stop the click.

Copy under test
"Payroll that runs itself, so you don't have to."
03

Fix it, then ship it.

You see who's in, who's out, the weakest span of the copy, and a tightened rewrite that answers what the panel raised. Run it again on the new version and watch the room move.

public sources read to build this one panel.

The panel is built from real buyers, not made up.

Provv reads the language, finds the distinct kinds of buyer that keep showing up, and rebuilds each one from their own words. The patterns are in the data. Provv does not invent them, it surfaces them.

01

Read.

Provv reads thousands of public mentions of you and your competitors from the places your buyers actually talk. Not a sample. The whole conversation.

02

Cluster.

It groups that language into the distinct kinds of buyer that keep showing up: the one who cares about price, the skeptic who distrusts the claims, the loyalist who will not switch. Real patterns, not archetypes you guessed at.

03

Ground.

Each buyer carries the actual quotes behind them, with the source. When a buyer reacts to your copy, you can see exactly why, in the words of a person who really wrote it.

"We were paying for four tools that all did pieces of the same job. Consolidating onto one stack cut our spend almost in half and the team actually uses it now."
G2 review
"Honestly the all-in-one pitch is the only reason I took the call. If I have to bolt on a dialer and a sequencer again I'm out."
r/sales
"Per-seat math only works if reps live in it every day. That's the bar."
Comparison post
"Half the contacts we pulled last quarter bounced or went to someone who left two years ago. I'm not paying for a database that hasn't been refreshed."
G2 review
"Show me how often the records are verified and by what. 'AI-enriched' isn't an answer."
r/RevOps
"Bounce rate above 5% and our sender reputation tanks for a week. That's the only number I care about when I evaluate a data tool."
Capterra
"We switched providers after one bad list torched a brand-new domain. Never again."
r/sales
"If the consent trail isn't documented, legal kills the campaign before it leaves staging. GDPR isn't a checkbox on a pricing page."

"List hygiene first, volume second. Every tool sells it the other way around."

"ZoomInfo's data depth on the enterprise side is still in another league. I'd switch if someone matched it, but nobody has yet."
G2 review
"The org charts and intent signals are what I actually use. Strip those out and it's just another contact list."

06 / Where it earns its placeprovv

The first pass that finally fits a Tuesday.

  • 01Pressure-test the headline before the campaign.
  • 02Settle the copy argument with a reaction instead of an opinion.
  • 03Catch the line that lost the cold email before the send.
  • 04Check new positioning against how buyers actually talk.
  • 05Pick the stronger of two value props head to head.
  • 06Spot the line legal made worse before it ships.
07 / The honest limitsprovv
We say this out loud

A directional read. Not a survey. Not proof.

Provv is the cheap first pass you run before you ship, and before you'd ever commission the real study. It works because the panel is grounded in real buyer language, and because it's built to push back instead of flatter you. A tool that likes everything is worse than no tool, because it gives false confidence.

It does not replace talking to your customers. It gets you to that conversation sharper.

08 / The questions, answeredprovv
FAQ

The questions a skeptical marketer asks first.

Straight answers, no hedging.

Provv starts free with five panel runs a month. Paid plans begin at $149 per month for solo marketers running constant copy, $899 per month for teams pressure-testing every shipped line, and custom pricing for Enterprise launches that read a full campaign before spend. Traditional pre-launch research starts around $15,000 per study and takes three to six weeks, which is why most copy ships untested.
About two minutes per run, from paste to verdicts. That is the entire point. Anything slower than the time it takes to write the next subject line will not get used, so testing has to fit inside the writing loop, not outside it.
Headlines, value props, pricing lines, cold emails, landing pages, ads, scripts, onboarding flows, and full campaign sets. Drop in text, an image, or a short video and the same room of buyers reacts to it. Enterprise reads an entire launch end to end and flags where the story breaks between asset and asset.
Provv is a directional first pass, not a verdict. Each buyer is grounded in thousands of quotes from real public discussion in your category, so reactions track the language and objections a real buyer would carry. Use it to kill weak lines before they ship and to sharpen the strong ones. For six-figure bets, pair it with a real-people study. For everything else, it is the only read most copy will ever get.
B2B SaaS marketers, PMMs, growth and demand-gen leads, and founders writing their own copy. Anyone shipping marketing faster than they can test it, on stakes too small for a research panel and too big to guess.
Yes. The copy, briefs, and campaigns you paste in stay yours and are never used to train shared models or shown to other accounts. Provv reads public discussion about your market to build buyers, not anyone's private data.
Both. Team plans are built for testing individual lines and assets on the way out the door. Enterprise is built for reading an entire launch, every email, page, ad, and script, against the same panel so you catch the contradictions between assets before the campaign goes live.
You give Provv the category and ICP. It pulls real public language from reviews, forums, communities, and public discussion in that market, then grounds each buyer in the quotes that define how those people actually talk, what they want, and what they refuse to buy. Every buyer ships with receipts you can read, edit, and regenerate from source.
