You ask ChatGPT: “What motivates fitness app users?”
ChatGPT responds: “Fitness app users are motivated by a combination of personal goals, social influences, and technological features that make exercise more accessible and engaging….”
You ask Elaris the same question.
Elaris responds: “Fitness enthusiasts break into 5 distinct psychological segments: The Passionate Trendsetter (27.5%) who responds to high-energy, social marketing, The Confident Socializer (20.8%) who favors influencer-driven FOMO campaigns, The Visionary Achiever (18.3%) who prefers premium, purpose-driven messaging…”
One gives you generic advice. The other gives you insights from 500,000 real fitness enthusiasts’ psychological profiles.
That’s the difference between AI trained on web content and AI trained on human psychology.
This is Elaris, and it’s changing how smart marketers understand their audiences.
Why ChatGPT Can’t Tell You What Your Customers Actually Want
Most AI tools are built on web content, not human insights. When you ask ChatGPT about customer motivation, you’re getting a sophisticated summary of what marketing blogs and research reports have already said. The responses sound authoritative, but don’t have the psychological depth that drives real purchasing decisions.
This is a massive limitation. Here’s why:
ChatGPT processes millions of web pages containing marketing advice, case studies, and demographic generalizations. When you ask about electric vehicle buyers, for example, you’ll get the same surface-level categories everyone else has read: “environmental concerns, economic considerations, and technological expectations.” These responses feel comprehensive because they cover multiple factors, but they treat all electric vehicle buyers like they have the same intrinsic motivations.
This isn’t connected to reality. Two people can both care about “environmental concerns” while being driven by completely different psychological needs. One person might prioritize environmental impact because it signals their values to their social circle, while another focuses on environmental benefits because they provide long-term cost savings.
The first person responds to aspirational messaging about making a difference, and the second wants detailed efficiency data and total cost of ownership calculations. ChatGPT can’t distinguish between these fundamental motivational differences because it wasn’t trained to understand human psychology.
This missing context becomes expensive. Marketing teams spend months developing campaigns around these generic insights, only to discover their messaging doesn’t resonate. A $50,000 market research study might confirm that “millennials value authenticity,” but it won’t explain why some millennials respond to aspirational luxury messaging while others prefer understated quality signals.
Your competitors get the same advice from the same AI tools. When everyone optimizes for “environmental concerns” and “technological expectations,” the market becomes saturated with identical messaging. The brands that break through are speaking to psychological drivers that ChatGPT can’t identify.
Ask any AI about “electric vehicle buyers” and you’ll encounter this limitation firsthand. The response lists obvious motivations without revealing the psychological nuances that determine which marketing approaches actually work.
Elaris, on the other hand, identifies four distinct psychological segments: Status Seekers (50%), Practical Skeptics (22.5%), Tech Enthusiasts (7.5%), and Conscience Buyers (20%). Each segment requires different marketing approaches, creative strategies, and messaging frameworks.
The First AI Built on Human Psychology, Not Web Pages
Elaris represents a completely different approach to marketing intelligence. While other AI tools guess about human behavior based on internet content, Elaris knows human behavior based on psychological science. Built on Solsten’s psychological database representing 3.4 billion people worldwide, it provides conversational access to 100,000+ unique audiences with rich psychological profiles. These audiences range from brands to interests to media properties, and everything in between. They can be as broad as “running,” or as niche as the 2019 film Running With the Devil.
This matters for practical reasons. When you ask Elaris about your audience, you’re accessing psychological profiles from actual people who have completed validated assessments measuring their values, motivations, and communication preferences. ChatGPT gives you demographic generalizations or behavioral assumptions. Elaris gives you the scientific measurements of psychological traits that predict purchasing behavior, content preferences, and brand loyalty.
What is Elaris?
Elaris is a psychology-driven marketing assistant that helps you create and optimize high-impact content by deeply understanding your audience’s core motivations. The conversational interface makes complex psychological data immediately accessible, transforming insights that used to require research teams and months of analysis into instant content and strategy.
The scientific methodology behind Elaris sets it apart from content-trained AI. Rather than synthesizing existing marketing wisdom, it draws from adaptive psychological assessments that measure over 250 validated traits. These assessments meet clinical psychology standards for reliability, providing measurement precision that traditional market research can’t match.

See the Difference: Same Question, Completely Different Insights
To illustrate this difference, we asked ChatGPT and Elaris the same question:
“What motivates natural skincare shoppers?”
Both gave detailed responses:
ChatGPT Response:
Natural skincare buyers are driven by a combination of health, environmental, and ethical considerations, influenced by personal experiences and broader cultural trends.
Elaris Response:
This audience is driven by a blend of ambition, security, and personal growth, with a strong emphasis on tangible rewards and respect. Their motivation is practical, goal-oriented, and rooted in a desire for both personal advancement and stability.
Analysis of the Difference
ChatGPT’s Approach: The response provides generic categories that sound comprehensive but lack specificity. Terms like “health considerations” and “environmental values” represent broad buckets that could apply to dozens of product categories. The insight treats all natural skincare buyers as a homogeneous group, missing the psychological nuances that determine which marketing approaches actually convert.
Elaris’s Approach: The response reveals precise psychological drivers with measurable specificity. Instead of listing obvious categories, Elaris identifies the psychological tension between ambition and security that characterizes this audience. The insight explains both what they want, and why they want it, providing the psychological foundation for strategic differentiation.
Actionability Comparison
What ChatGPT tells you to do:
- “Emphasize transparency, sustainability, and authenticity”
- “Provide clear information about ingredient sourcing”
- “Consider peer recommendations and reviews”
The problem: Every natural skincare brand already follows this playbook. The advice offers no competitive differentiation and doesn’t explain how to execute these strategies effectively.
What Elaris tells you to do:
- Target achievement-oriented messaging that positions skincare as professional advancement
- Emphasize financial value and long-term ROI rather than trendy ingredients
- Create reward and recognition programs that acknowledge expertise
- Focus on proven results over experimental approaches
- Avoid community-impact messaging, which ranks low as a motivator for this audience
The advantage: These recommendations create clear differentiation opportunities. While competitors focus on sustainability messaging, you can capture the achievement-oriented segment with professional advancement positioning.
Psychological Depth Comparison
ChatGPT’s limitations: The response assumes motivations based on product category rather than measuring actual psychological drivers. It focuses on external factors like social media influence and price sensitivity while treating psychology as secondary to demographics.
Elaris’s insights: The response reveals core personality traits and motivational hierarchies specific to natural skincare buyers. It identifies the psychological tension between ambition and security. This is an unusual combination that explains why traditional wellness marketing often misses this audience. The insight provides psychological reasoning for purchase behavior rather than demographic assumptions.
Key psychological discoveries Elaris reveals:
- Ambition + Security Paradox: High achievers who prioritize stability (uncommon trait combination)
- Respect as Primary Driver: Need for professional acknowledgment influences purchase decisions
- Low Openness to Experimentation: Preference for proven solutions over trendy ingredients
- Practical Goal Orientation: Skincare decisions tied to professional and personal advancement goals
Strategic Implications
ChatGPT’s tactical suggestions:
❌ Generic: “Emphasize sustainability” (everyone does this)
❌ Obvious: “Use social media influencers” (saturated approach)
❌ Competitive: “Be transparent about ingredients” (table stakes)
❌ Broad: “Appeal to wellness lifestyle” (vague execution)
Elaris’s strategic opportunities:
✅ Differentiated: “Position as professional advancement tool”
✅ Psychologically-informed: “Emphasize ROI over experimentation”
✅ Specific: “Create achievement recognition programs”
✅ Strategic: “Avoid community impact messaging” (counterintuitive but data-driven)
The comparison shows why psychological insights create competitive advantages that demographic targeting cannot match. While ChatGPT provides advice that sounds reasonable but lacks differentiation, Elaris reveals the psychological drivers that explain why certain approaches succeed while others fail to resonate.
