Meet Hugo

What should we
change next?

Ask about your creative, inspect supporting evidence and draft the next edit. Hugo can run diagnostics and simulated interviews, with confirmation before allowance-consuming actions.

Hugo connects RoastIQ, BuyerLens and Market. Human review is recorded separately.

Example
Proposed next edit
Make the product benefit visible earlier and test a version that can be understood without sound.

Evidence to inspect
Open the saved creative moments and the report's source links. Check the model version, cohort coverage and study limits separately.

Your decision
Keep, adapt or reject this proposal. A recommendation is not a recorded human approval or a measured campaign result.

The shift

Stop navigating screens.
Start asking questions.

The pipeline is already powerful. The cost is the context-switching, uploading here, comparing there, exporting somewhere else. Hugo collapses all of it into a single conversation that ends in a decision.

01

One conversation. Full pipeline.

Diagnostic, buyer interviews, benchmark search, creative brief, Hugo picks the right tool for the question. You never leave the chat.

02

Reasoning you can audit.

Every tool call, every piece of evidence, every decision is shown. You trust the recommendation because you can see exactly how it got there.

03

Built on the SaliencyLab stack.

Not a wrapper. Hugo calls the real RoastIQ scoring engine, the real BuyerLens panels, the real benchmark pool, the same data your team already trusts.

How Hugo thinks

Follow the actions and supporting evidence.

Review the saved source behind a recommendation, then choose what to change or test.

Sample answer

Not a wall of text. A decision.

Hugo returns the verdict, the KPI breakdown, the evidence behind it, and a specific next move, formatted for the room, not the model.

Creative cue. Check where the product and benefit first become clear in the source creative.
Proposed edit. Move the benefit earlier and retain a recognizable product cue.
Evidence gate. Meta and unsupported cohorts remain directional; no confident numeric verdict is inferred.
Next test. Compare the original and revised cut under agreed conditions. Record observed results separately.
Next move

Test an earlier product benefit and a version that works without sound. This is a proposed edit for human review, not a predicted lift.

What Hugo is worth

Keep the work together. Make the next decision.

Bring the diagnostic, research questions and creative brief into the same workspace. Review the sources before choosing what to test.

Your choice, recorded separately
The work to coordinate
  • Read the creative diagnostic and its limits
  • Check whether the comparison cohort fits
  • Explore unresolved buyer objections separately
  • Keep the proposed edit with its supporting evidence
  • Record the human choice and the next test
In one workspace
  • Read saved results or confirm a new analysis
  • Inspect available cohort coverage and source links
  • Keep AI-simulated answers distinct from observed results
  • Carry evidence into an editable creative brief
  • Review the recommendation before recording a decision
✓
Compress the loop

What used to take a week of meetings, diagnostic read, buyer reaction, benchmark check, brief rewrite, happens in one conversation while the editor is still in the timeline.

✓
Protect the spend

Review the evidence before committing media budget. Hugo surfaces Rebuild verdicts before the media plan is locked.

✓
End the deck cycle

Choose the delivery format your team needs. Hugo's output is a verdict, five KPIs, the evidence, and a next move, ready for your team to review.

✓
Defend the decision

Inspect the recorded model, benchmark coverage and supporting evidence. Missing evidence stays explicit. When the CMO asks why, you have the receipts on hand.

Why teams trust him

Recommendations come with their receipts.

Hugo isn't a black box. Every answer ties back to the same data your team already trusts, and you can inspect every step.

✦

Auditable reasoning trace

Inspect the available tool activity and source evidence supporting a recommendation. Human approvals and measured outcomes remain separate records.

✦

Same data your team already uses

Hugo calls the real RoastIQ scoring engine, the real BuyerLens panels, the real benchmark pool. He doesn't re-implement the pipeline, he orchestrates it. One source of truth.

✦

Honest about what he knows

Hugo flags low-confidence answers, surfaces benchmark sample sizes, and refuses to invent metrics. Scores are model predictions; synthetic interviews are simulated. He says so.

Questions teams ask first

What Hugo is, and isn't.

Straight answers to the questions every CMO, planner, and head of creative asks before they hand him a brief.

Is Hugo a chatbot, or does he actually do the work?+
He does the work. Hugo isn't a wrapper around an LLM, he calls the same RoastIQ scoring engine, BuyerLens panels and benchmark pool your team uses today. When he says "I ran the diagnostic," he actually ran it and the result is in your project, with the same audit trail as a manual run.
What does he cost? Is there a per-question fee?+
Hugo is included in Pro. No metered tokens, no enterprise minimum, no per-question billing. The only quota that applies is the Pro plan's monthly ad and panel allowance.
How is this different from RoastIQ on its own?+
RoastIQ is the scoring engine. Hugo is the strategist who knows when to run it, what to compare it against, which buyer persona to interview, and what brief to write next. RoastIQ gives you a number. Hugo gives you the decision.
Does he replace my creative strategist or planner?+
No. Hugo helps retrieve saved reports, compare available evidence and draft next steps. Your team sets the brief, reviews the recommendation and owns the creative decision.
Can I trust the recommendation? What if he's wrong?+
Use it as a proposal to inspect. Review the recorded model, source evidence and cohort coverage. Validation estimates belong to named platform models; they do not validate every five-KPI score or synthetic response. Missing evidence stays explicit, and human review remains necessary.
What data does Hugo see, and where does it live?+
Only what's in your project workspace, your uploads, your scored reports, your benchmark queries. Nothing is sent to third-party model providers for training. The benchmark pool itself is built from publicly available transparency sources (Meta Ad Library, TikTok Creative Center, Google Ads Transparency), never customer data.
Does he predict sales or ROAS?+
No. Creative diagnostics, separately evaluated platform models and AI-simulated interviews are different forms of evidence. None establishes attributed sales lift, conversion, brand recall or measured emotional strength.
How do I get started?+
Discuss your campaign with us. We agree the scope, arrange workspace access and show how to review your creative evidence. Existing clients can sign in through Client access.
