What SATORAI LTD does

SATORAI LTD (operating as Satori, legal entity Satori Inc.) is a London-headquartered, privately-held AI market research firm founded in 2025 by Chris Daly and Eden Goonesekera, both former Flamingo cultural-research-agency operators with academic backgrounds in Data Science (UCC) and AI (LSE & KCL). The company delivers custom AI-powered research projects and bespoke software solutions to brands and research agencies, operating a horizontal go-to-market across audience insights, industry landscape studies, brand intelligence, and product research.

The technical platform is a multi-modal AI suite centered on four pillars: Linguistic Modelling (NLP with topic clustering and recognition of 28 emotional patterns across social and review data), Network Analysis (community and influencer mapping using Jaccard Similarity), Image & Video Analysis (computer vision for visual trend detection, brand presence, and livestream mapping), and an Innovation Lab producing custom generative AI applications, predictive models, and retail space optimization. A human-in-the-loop workflow is maintained at every stage, and the firm positions itself as a category between traditional market research (tailored but slow) and social-listening tools (fast but shallow).

Commercially, Satori runs a project-based professional services model with two revenue streams — Custom Research Projects and Software Solutions (including Custom AI Models, Knowledge Base extraction, Semantic Search, and the WhyQ Respondent Management Platform). Pricing is undisclosed and quote-based. Distribution is sales-led, combining direct engagement with brands and a partnership channel through research agencies. Customer evidence spans a Top-10 Global Tech Company (two engagements), a Leading Beauty Conglomerate, CALM, Sober Futures, WhyQ, Ex-Hall & Partners, and a Spirituality client, with no disclosed revenue, funding, or headcount beyond a 1-10 range.
