Bluepill Case study | Immi Ramen
How Immi Ramen Understood Taste vs. Nutrition Customer Preferences 100x Faster — at 10% the Cost
Immi Ramen — the world’s first high-protein, low-carb instant ramen brand
The Goal
Understand how consumers react to nutrition trade-offs and ingredient choices in new product formulations.
The Challenge
Immi Ramen wanted to understand how real consumers weigh taste, texture, and nutrition when evaluating product claims — like protein and fiber levels, sodium, and sugar content.
Traditional research panels take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars to uncover these insights. Immi needed answers quickly — without compromising quality.
The Solution
BluePill simulated Immi’s target audience using its AI synthetic consumers — digital twins trained on custom data set built from real world behavioral, social and survey data.
We ran Immi’s full consumer survey through BluePill, generating insights in under 15 minutes. Each question’s results were compared directly with a real human survey conducted on real humans.
