At Booth 11, the APAC-focused sample provider will present its AI Interview Panel for Japan and South Korea, and new Adaptive Quality Control
TOKYO, JAPAN, August 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GMO Research & AI, Inc. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Executive Managing Director, Global : Yukiya Nagata, Executive Managing Director) today announced that
it will exhibit at ESOMAR Congress 2026, held from September 1 to 4, 2026 at the Palacio de Congresos Valencia in Valencia, Spain. The company will be at Booth 11.At the booth, the company will present its AI Interview Panel for AI-moderated qualitative research in Japan and South Korea, consumer panels across Asia-Pacific markets, and Adaptive Quality Control, which filters low-scoring respondents before survey entry.
Why This Matters for Research Buyers
Agencies and consultancies commissioning research across Asia-Pacific typically contract separate panel providers market by market, each with its own quality standards, privacy requirements and operational conventions. Reconciling them consumes project time before fieldwork begins.
GMO Research & AI sources respondents across APAC markets under a single contract and a single quality standard, while adapting panel operations to the regulations and practices of each market.
What Will Be on Display
1. AI Interview Panel (Japan and South Korea)
A panel built specifically for AI-moderated interview studies, giving research buyers a route to recruit respondents for qualitative work such as in-depth interviews at survey-scale volumes.
・Interview modes: text, audio and video
・Identity verification: all participants complete identity verification before joining
・Dedicated membership: only members who have consented to AI-moderated interviews
・Coverage: Japan and South Korea, with additional markets planned
2. Audience coverage across APAC
Panelists by market, as of July 2026:
・Japan — 37,519,000
・Indonesia — 3,188,000
・South Korea — 1,621,000
・Malaysia — 1,445,000
・Thailand — 1,047,000
・India — 856,000
・Philippines — 445,000
・Vietnam — 203,000
・Australia — 183,000
・Singapore — 50,000
・New Zealand — 12,000
And more
Full details are available in the company's Panel Book.
This includes six ASEAN markets — Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam and Singapore — that can be fielded together under one contract.
3. Adaptive Quality Control (new)
Behavioral Scoring tracks response integrity beyond demographic attributes and blocks low-scoring respondents before survey entry.
It extends existing controls for detecting fraudulent and duplicate survey responses — proprietary "Ghost Completes" detection, checks for straight-lining, bots and speeders, duplicate management by cookie and email address, and trap questions — by moving screening ahead of fieldwork rather than relying on post-survey data cleaning.
4. Tailored Panel Management
Panel operations differ across Asian markets. GMO Research & AI follows local regulations and market practice in each country to keep data reliable.
