Synthesio centralizes public data from many providers, such as posts on social networks, press articles, forums, search data, and more.

Lastly, at Synthesio, we have a strong tech culture. This means the teams have a key role. Each project team (“squad”) is empowered, owns together the success of the sprint, and chooses their deliverables and their timelines.
Our department
The Synthesio product engineering department is focused on data provisioning, enrichment, and exploitation.
Synthesio crawls numerous public consumer data footprints including social, reviews and ratings, survey, search, and press data, representing an average of 70M new documents per day. Each document is then analyzed and enriched using custom NLP and image recognition models developed by our ML engineers. All this data is stored in databases and can be accessed by our customers via our dashboarding solution or our APIs. Within dashboards, we harness users with the latest technologies, like Generative AI, to streamline their analysis.
