- Market research is too slow for the AI era, so Brox built 60,000 identical 'digital twins' of real people you can survey instantly, repeatedly
In a world where a viral TikTok video can cause a brand to trend globally in mere hours, the traditional market research cycle — often spanning 12 weeks — is becoming a liability. The lag between a survey question and the answers from a wide (or targeted) pool of respondents has become a primary bottleneck for Fortune 500 decision-makers who are forced to navigate volatile geopolitical and economic shifts with data that is frequently outdated by the time it reaches a slide deck, as industry experts have observed . Brox , a predictive human intelligence startup, recently announced a strategic funding round following a year where they reported 10X revenue growth. Their proposition is as ambitious as it is technical: the creation of a "parallel universe" populated by 60,000 digital twins of real, living human beings and their entire demographic profiles and consumer preferences, allowing enterprises to run unlimited experiments in hours rather than months. “These digital twins are one-to-

- ServiceNow continues its AI transformation with an integrated experience
ServiceNow has unveiled updates to its workflow management platform advancing its redefinition of itself as the “AI control tower for business reinvention” at its Knowledge customer event this week. The AI Control Tower product itself, introduced at last year’s event, gets new integrations with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and other LLM providers to extend governance and observability of enterprise infrastructure, adding to its existing links with OpenAI and Anthropic . The integrations also span applications such as SAP, Oracle, and Workday. In addition, Control Tower can now discover non-human identities and connected devices to bring OT and IoT under the same governance as AI agents and cloud services. All this ties in to the ServiceNow Action Fabric, which opens the platform to any AI agent, whether built on ServiceNow or from another source, via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, the company said.
