Cambium AI
Cambium AI is a population intelligence platform built on verified public data. It gives founders, marketers, product teams, and policy leaders a way to make decisions based on who actually exists, not assumptions, invented personas, or survey panels of 200 people.
Synthetic Personas: Chat with and poll statistically grounded personas of the U.S. population. Built from joined public datasets (Census, IRS, CDC, housing, labour, migration), so each persona reflects real income, rent burden, commute times, and household structure, not a plausible story a model made up.
Population Research: Ask questions in plain English and get answers traced back to public data. Cambium AI turns natural-language queries into structured population analysis, returning charts, maps, and segment comparisons you can export and defend.
MCP for Agent Environments: Bring Cambium AI personas into Claude Code and other agent tools through the MCP server.
