vegapunk

vegapunk is your research companion

an easy-to-use integration of leading AI models (from openai, anthropic, meta, google, and more) into qualtrics, allowing researchers to design experiments where humans and AI interact with just a few clicks. made by researchers at mit (@hauselin, @tawabsafi, @thcostello).

test a new intervention, create a semi-structured interview, or build something entirely new. we're trusted by leading scientists at mit, stanford, university of oxford, london school of economics, university college london, and the university of toronto.

vegapunk takes minutes to set up, instantly scales to thousands of participants, is safe and secure, and highly customizable. see documentation here

• scratchpad (let the AI secretly plan its approach before sending its message via prompting strategies like chain-of-thought)

two-tiered pricing: punk and vegapunk

for the basic chatbot punk and the starter kit qualtrics .qsf file, we charge $25 for 10 days of access.

if you want to get more creative and take advantage of our advanced features (like online search, customization, etc) you'll be more interested in vegapunk, which comes with all of the bells and whistles ($50 for 10 days).

we hope that 10 days will be enough time to set up and run your experiment. but if you anticipate needing more time, just use the "Name a fair price" button to extend. the price is $2 per additional day for punk and $3 per additional day for vegapunk. examples:

• if you buy punk and pay $35, you will get 15-day access ($25 for 10-day access + $2*5-day access = $35)
• if you buy vegapunk and pay $110, you will get 30-day access ($50 for 10-day access + $3*20-day access = $110)
