Askli benchmarks

We tested whether research changes the answer.

Frontier AI can reason about what users might think. Askli surrounds that intelligence with research: participant evidence, adaptive conversations, synthesis, and integrity checks. We tested that difference in two controlled experiments.

Benchmark 01

Does a research workflow improve the same AI?

We gave the same research question to frontier model families in two conditions: a direct, one-shot answer and a structured research workflow.

+13 pointson a 40-point research-usefulness rubric

Same model families. Better research process.

Benchmark 02 · Quick Check

What changes when AI gets evidence?

Frontier AI saw the product artifact and predicted how users might react. Quick Check analyzed controlled participant evidence.

What these experiments tell us

Process matters

Benchmark 01: adding research structure improved the usefulness of frontier-model output.

Evidence matters

Benchmark 02: when the workflow had participant evidence rather than artifact-only inference, it recovered the controlled evidence substantially more accurately.

Neither benchmark claims Askli has a smarter model. That's not the point.

Askli uses frontier intelligence differently: to do research rather than substitute for it.
