Exciting news…well, to us anyway. We recently updated our AI-powered survey chatbot that we have fondly nicknamed The Probulator (sorry 😆).

One person’s ‘out-of-whack’ is another’s ‘scarily accurate’ Gordon & Denton poll prediction
A message from Brian Cooper, Managing Director at Omnisis We were recently approached to do some constituency polling for the Gorton + Denton by-election – it had been a while since we’d dipped our toes into those particular waters, so I was a little nervous.

Our new PackSpin question type is as cool as it is clever
