[cafeteria]: Ask Young Consumers Anything. Build From Every Answer.

[cafeteria] releases today around S/NTH, teams, and creation. Ask young consumers anything, turn the answer into a sourced brief, deck or visual your team can share. Live now, with a 7-day free trial for new teams.

[cafeteria]: any question, real answers, a finished brief.

Ask, Don't Guess

[cafeteria] opens on a question, not a dashboard.

Brand and insights teams have always had two bad options: wait weeks for a study, or guess from what’s loud online. Now they ask. S/NTH, the AI at the center of [cafeteria], answers in plain language from what young consumers actually told us, in their own words and voices.

  • Plain questions, real answers. “How are 18–24s talking about our brand vs. our competitors?” gets an answer, the numbers behind it, and the quotes that prove it.
  • Only [cafeteria] data. S/NTH doesn’t search the web or fill gaps with guesses. Every answer comes from real conversations on [cafeteria].
  • Built for follow-ups. Narrow it to an age group or a region, or ask what’s changed since last month.

From Answer to Artifact

The answer is the start of the work, not the end of it.

Ask [cafeteria] to build, and it turns your question into a brief, a slide deck or a visual, designed and ready to share, filled with real quotes and real numbers. Edit it, keep it private, or share it with your team.

Illustration of one S/NTH prompt, 'How does Gen Z pick an energy drink? Build me a brief, a deck and a visual for Monday', with the Build button, fanning out into a deck slide (86% of Alani mentions come from women, 590 Red Bull mentions), a brief and a gender-split chart visual, marked as shared with your team.
  • Briefs, decks and visuals from one prompt, ready for the meeting.
  • Team artifacts show up for teammates, so research gets reused instead of redone.
  • Always current. Ask to bring any artifact up to date with the newest responses, and it tells you what changed.

Every Line Has a Source

Nothing [cafeteria] makes is a black box.

Every answer and every artifact links to the responses behind it. One click opens the sources: the albums and questions it drew on, who answered (gender, age, place), and the voice notes themselves, so you can hear the person, not just a summary of them.

Screenshot of the Sources panel beside a [cafeteria] artifact titled 'Soda, Coffee, Energy: Gender Split', with its header highlighted: 27,108 responses, 17 albums and 12 questions drawn from 3.10M responses searched, above the responses S/NTH read.
  • Trace any number back to the people behind it.
  • Hear them. Voice notes play right next to the claim they support.
  • Open the album to read every response to the original question.

Built for Teams

Insights stop living in one person’s inbox.

[cafeteria] is shared by default where it should be and private where it should be. Chats and drafts stay yours; anything you share lands in your team’s space, where teammates can open it, build on it and follow it.

  • Share to your team in one click. Shared briefs, decks and visuals show up for everyone on the account.
  • Work on it together. See which teammates are in an artifact and where they are, and jump to them.
  • Build on each other’s work. Ask [cafeteria] to update a teammate’s deck with the newest responses or turn their brief into slides, without starting over.

Connected to What You Already Use

Real young-consumer data, inside the AI tools your team already uses.

[cafeteria]‘s MCP connectors bring [cafeteria] into Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Ask your usual assistant about young consumers, and it answers from real [cafeteria] responses with the sources attached, not from the open web.

  • Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot. Connect [cafeteria] once and it’s there in every chat.
  • Sourced answers, wherever you ask. The same data and the same receipts as the [cafeteria] app: who said it, where, in their own words.
  • Scoped to your account. Every question runs on your organization’s [cafeteria] access, so your custom studies stay yours.
  • Fits the work you’re already doing. Pull real quotes and numbers straight into the doc, deck or plan you’re writing in those tools.

“For years the hardest part wasn’t getting the answer, it was getting it into the room. [cafeteria] closes that gap: you ask, it answers from real young consumers, and it hands you something you can (and want to) share, with every line traced back to who said it.”

How It Works

Every answer starts with a real person.

[cafeteria] is the largest private network of Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers. Members answer open-ended questions by text or voice in the [cafeteria] app, one table of questions at a time, and those answers are what S/NTH reads.

  • Sourced by design. S/NTH answers only from [cafeteria] responses. It doesn’t browse the web or blend in outside data, so every claim can be checked.
  • Unprompted counts. When [cafeteria] reports how often a brand comes up, answers to questions that named the brand don’t count, so numbers aren’t moved by what we asked.
  • Not a poll. [cafeteria] shows how young consumers talk and why. It isn’t a weighted survey or a forecast.
