Censible
Censible is a web-based platform for exploring Australian Census data. Users can view demographic and household figures for suburbs, councils, postcodes and statistical areas, or draw a custom boundary to examine a location. It brings together the 2011, 2016 and 2021 Censuses on the Australian Bureau of Statistics' 2026 boundaries, with each figure linked to its ABS source. The platform supports location assessment, catchment and market research, property and retail planning, investment analysis, and reporting for consultancies and councils. Users can explore data in the browser, use it in reports, or retrieve it through an API. An MCP server also makes Censible data available to compatible AI assistants. Censible plans to add each 2026 Census release as the ABS publishes it, starting in June 2027.

Cambium AI
Cambium AI builds synthetic personas from verified data and simulates their day in real places, so you can see what an average hides.
It joins datasets so that each persona's age, income, household, job, and commute occur together the way they do in reality.
Cambium AI's latest product, EIKOS, shows how an area's residents are likely to spend an ordinary day, hour by hour, next to a planning report that names its sources. Planners use it to build the evidence for plans, studies, and grant applications.
Teams can also survey these personas and run focus groups with them. Answers trace back to a source, and the simulation contains no personal data.
