Try it

Mention OriginalVoices in your prompt so your assistant knows to use it:

Use OriginalVoices to ask 25–35 year old fitness enthusiasts what they prioritise in home workout equipment, then write positioning and key messages around their top concerns.

Test this ad copy with UK parents of under-10s using OriginalVoices, then rewrite it to fix what they push back on.

Use OriginalVoices to find out what frustrates small business owners most about their accounting software, then draft a comparison page for our product.

Your assistant can also ask your saved audiences and studies. Ask it to list them first, e.g. "Which OriginalVoices audiences do I have?"

For repeatable research workflows, add a skill.
