1. Technology overview
Milieu Insight is a decision intelligence company founded in 2018 that combines consumer data, research and AI for brands in Southeast Asia and beyond. It addresses the slow, costly process of commissioning traditional market research when companies need fast answers about consumers in several markets.
MiHQ, formerly Canvas, runs quantitative research end to end: drag-and-drop survey design with routing, collaborative editing, distribution, real-time fieldwork monitoring, significance testing, cross-market analysis and reporting. AI analyses open-ended answers in seconds, and results can be linked to millions of pre-collected profiling data points. It draws on Milieu's own panel in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam, plus partner panels in over 150 countries. Related products include MiAudience, MiReports, MiBus and MiBrand.
