New platform transforms market research by enabling natural voice conversations with customers at scale, reducing months of research to hours

Keplar, an AI-powered market research platform, today announced the general availability of Keplar Voice, a conversational AI system that conducts in-depth customer interviews through natural voice interactions. The company also announced their $3.4 million seed funding led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from SV Angel, Common Metal, and South Park Commons. Keplar will use the funds to accelerate technical investments in conversational AI and scale headcount in order to meet accelerating market demand.

Traditional research methods like phone surveys and in-depth interviews can take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars, putting meaningful customer insights out of reach for many businesses. Keplar makes this fast, affordable, and scalable: hundreds of AI voice interviews conducted simultaneously, real-time analysis of responses, and actionable reports delivered within hours.

"Every company wants to understand their customers deeply, but the current tools make it nearly impossible," said Dhruv Guliani, co-founder and CEO of Keplar. "A single moderated interview can cost hundreds of dollars and takes weeks to schedule. We're making it possible for any company to have real conversations with hundreds of customers simultaneously, getting rich qualitative insights at quantitative scale."

Keplar Voice combines multiple agentic AI technologies to deliver an end-to-end research solution:

• Natural voice conversations: AI moderators conduct dynamic, adaptive interviews and respond to participant answers in real-time
• Instant deployment: Studies launch in minutes with customizable voice personalities and languages. Participants are recruited through Keplar’s high-quality panel or through a company’s CRM
• Automated analysis: AI agents code responses, identify themes, and quantify insights as interviews complete
• Enterprise-ready reporting: Sharable reports and executive dashboards are automatically generated to help marketers and researchers land impact

Fortune 500 companies across CPG, software, and retail sectors are already using Keplar Voice for foundational research, concept testing, user experience research, and win-loss analysis. Early customers report reducing research timelines from months to days while significantly expanding the number of customers they can engage.

The seed round, led by Kleiner Perkins, will accelerate product development and market expansion. "Keplar is solving a massive problem that every company faces," said Mamoon Hamid, partner at Kleiner Perkins. "Their approach to combining voice AI with automated analysis creates a step-function improvement in how companies understand their customers."
