Runs recruitment, content marketing, and conference outreach.
What is AI for research?
AI for research is software that runs the business side of a research practice: client inquiries, thought leadership, conference outreach, talent recruitment, and past-client follow-up. It works from your practice and your voice, not a generic template.
It doesn't do research. Methodology, synthesis, and every analytical judgement are the product and stay with your researchers. What AI takes is the marketing that always loses to the study.
What it does for your firm
What it doesn't
Every research firm business workflow in one platform
Research firms (market research, consultancies, R&D services) run on research and on the client marketing, partner outreach, and recruitment behind it. Sintra runs the business side. Twelve specialised functions across client comms, marketing, recruitment, and content, all sharing your firm voice through Brain AI. Research methodology, literature synthesis, study design, and findings interpretation stay with the research team.
What slows down research firm marketing
AI for research should handle business and marketing, not pretend to do research synthesis or methodology design. These are the drains every commercial team runs into.
Client inquiries lag
Prospect inquiries take days to reply.
Thought leadership content sits undrafted
Research-firm content drives credibility. Drafting doesn't happen.
Conference outreach lags
Industry events drive client conversations.
Recruitment is hard
Research talent is scarce.
Partnership relationships drift
Industry partners refer business.
Past client outreach is uneven
Past clients refer follow-on work. Annual touches don't happen.

How to use AI for research
Where to start, and what to hand over first.
Start with the task you do most and want least
Not the study. The one that eats a Friday. For most firms that's the client inquiry, or the article that never leaves drafts.
Write down how you actually do it
Your practice, your voice, the questions you want to be known for. If it only lives in a principal's head, no tool can use it.
Hand over one task, not the function
One article. Not 'marketing'. Start with something small enough to read before it publishes.
Check the first outputs like you'd check a junior's
Early drafts land close, and thin in ways only a researcher can see. Say what's wrong. It holds.
Widen the scope once it's right
When the article reads like your firm, add the conference outreach, then the past-client follow-up.

How to choose AI for research
Four options, and what each one is best at.
A general AI chatbot
Best for testing the idea cheaply. It will draft a usable article if you're willing to write the brief and explain the practice every time.
A literature or analysis platform
Best on the literature. It searches papers, extracts findings, and maps evidence, which is a different job from this one and not one Sintra goes near.
Hiring a marketing lead
Best for work that needs judgement. A person reads a client's real question underneath the brief they sent.
Sintra
Best for the business side, running continuously. Inquiries, thought leadership, conferences, recruitment, past clients, all in your firm's voice, from one place, without billing an hour to it.
How to start
Three steps from sign-up to your first prospect reply.
Connect your stack
Link your CRM, email, and LinkedIn. Set up takes ten minutes.
Fill Brain AI
Drop in your firm voice and approved language.
Hand off the first task
Ask AI to handle today's prospect inquiries.
