Abi Awomosu will change how you hear your market.

For 20 years, I led insights, cultural intelligence, and data strategy at Meta, Uber, Apple, and award-winning creative agencies serving Fortune 100 clients.

Traditional research captures what people say. It misses what they feel, avoid, or quietly adapt around.

When generative AI emerged, I didn’t see a productivity tool. I saw a listening partner—one that could help surface collective patterns humans struggle to see at scale.

I founded my insights studio to develop the practice I always wished existed: deep human-centered research using real conversations already happening online, in person, and hidden in the internal data you don't use.

In a world of builders, I teach the craft of listening.

My North Star:
Stop trying to use AI better. Become the kind of human AI reveals better signals to.

Abi's course is supper rich and helpful and provides great resources - you can really dive into them and nerd out. It has completely changed how I use AI.

This course is a huge stretch for me, yet Abi has provided the tools and support to go back and explore at leisure. What I love best is that it's opened my eyes to different ways to use AI for discovery, challenge and discernment.

The Billion Person Focus Group® - Find the Truths Traditional Research Misses

The Billion Person Focus Group can be applied to any business category, department, and used by a team of any size, from a solopreneur to an enterprise. The method provides insights that are 12-18 months ahead of current research methods and reveals what end users leave unspoken. The BPFG significantly increases accuracy at a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend the BPFG for those seeking professional-grade research for internal use or clients. The value of the BPFG far outweighs the investment, as it has provided me with an on-ramp to discuss larger projects with new clients. The BPFG is the ultimate use case for generative AI.

The BPFG is a method combining perception alteration, mental vigor, and a refined process that cannot be easily manufactured. It shifted how I understand AI: from an extraction tool to a mirror for human behavior. The course is dense by design; every module earns its place and asks something of you in return. The process itself is psychological before building a system: you're refined in how you think before you're given the framework to use. Abi has created something I've never seen the like of, and I'm nearly in shock at the fortune of coming across her work.

This course changed how I think about AI — not just as a tool, but as a lens. Abi teaches you to see trends earlier and recognize your own bias, tech bias, use case bias. If you work with data or strategy, this belongs in your toolset. If you want to go way beyond productivity, this belongs in your daily practice.
