How does PickFu ensure quality?
All respondents are identity-verified by our trusted panel partners during their signup process, confirming demographic information and account details. We then use a multi-stage quality filtering process that includes a mix of AI and human curation to ensure high-quality responses. We remove respondents who consistently provide low-quality feedback from the panel. Regular quality assessments ensure we maintain high standards across all 15 supported countries. You (the user) also have the ability to flag individual low-quality responses if you receive them.Where do PickFu respondents come from?
Our respondents come from trusted enterprise-grade consumer panel partners – the same professional research panels that major companies like Procter & Gamble use for their large-scale consumer research. These established panel providers maintain rigorous quality standards, handle identity verification, and supply verified, high-quality respondents across all 15 countries.Are respondents human?
Yes. All PickFu respondents are real, verified individuals – not bots, AI, or automated systems. Respondents are incentivized to provide honest opinions based on their genuine preferences, not to guess what the survey creator wants to hear. The panel represents diverse demographics, interests, and backgrounds, ensuring you get varied perspectives on your research questions. PickFu also offers Synthetic Audiences, a separate beta tool that predicts what real people would choose. It uses synthetic panelists based on real PickFu panelists’ past survey choices. Synthetic panelists aren’t part of PickFu’s human panel, and their results are always labeled as synthetic.Confidentiality and security
Every respondent must agree to a comprehensive non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before seeing any survey content. The agreement explicitly states: “Keep all information and assets confidential - do NOT record, copy, save, share or discuss these materials anywhere.” This means:- Pre-survey agreement: Respondents cannot view survey content until they accept the NDA
- Strict confidentiality: Recording, copying, saving, or sharing your materials is prohibited
- Third-party verification: Panel partner companies verify respondent identity and compliance
- Anonymous research: Respondents never see who is running the survey or the final results

Frequently asked questions
How do you ensure respondent quality?
We use a multi-stage quality filtering process that includes a mix of AI and human curation. All respondents are identity-verified by our trusted panel partners, and we continuously monitor response quality throughout their participation. We remove low-performing respondents from the panel to maintain high standards.Can synthetic responses end up in my survey?
No. Synthetic and human results never mix. Synthetic responses never appear in your PickFu surveys. You only get synthetic results when you ask for them through the PickFu Agent or the synthetic tools in the MCP and API. They’re always labeled as synthetic, and PickFu never pools them with human results. Every response in a PickFu survey comes from the respondent panel. Respondents go through multiple layers of quality and identity checks. You get a written answer and demographics for every respondent, so you can review each response yourself.Which countries are supported?
PickFu supports 15 countries: United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom. Respondents answer in their native language, and results can be viewed in English or the original language.Do respondents know who’s running the survey?
No, surveys are completely anonymous. Respondents see your question and options but never know which company or individual is conducting the research.Are my materials protected?
Yes. All respondents agree to a comprehensive NDA before viewing any survey content. They are prohibited from recording, copying, saving, sharing, or discussing your materials anywhere.How can I avoid duplicate respondents?
Respondents within any given survey are unique; however, a single respondent may respond to multiple surveys. If you want to ensure unique respondents for a particular survey, make sure to extend your survey by choosing Increase sample size at the top of your results page, rather than running a new survey. This guarantees you’ll get different people than those who already answered.How do I become a respondent to answer surveys?
