        "longDescription": "Gather turns a business question into a customer research report.\n\nTell ChatGPT the company and the decision you are weighing, like which message to lead with, why buyers pick a competitor, or how a price change will land. Gather researches the company, designs an interview guide, runs simulated interviews with your target audience on Gather's research platform, and writes a branded report: an answer to your question, key findings, themes, quotes, and how the audience chose between options.\n\nYou get a report link right away. It shows live progress, then the finished report. Reports with 10 interviews take about 10 minutes, and 30 interviews (the default) take about 16 minutes. Gather also emails the report to you when it is ready.\n\nWho it is for: marketers, product managers, founders and researchers who want a fast, directional read on a target audience before a launch or a campaign.\n\nLimitations: results come from simulated interviews and are directional. They are not a survey of real people. You need a Gather account with access to a Gather workspace. Each person can start up to 10 reports per workspace per day.",
