The connector is built on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that connects AI agents to external systems. In practice, a consultant or deal team can scope a study, draft a questionnaire, revise question logic, generate dashboards and export results — all in plain language. Those prompts work inside Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini Enterprise and more. The survey itself continues to run on Potloc's platform and methodology. "Every consulting and PE team I talk to is chasing two things that usually pull against each other: move faster, and don't compromise quality," said Rodolphe Barrere, CEO of Potloc. "So with the MCP, we built an accelerant that layers onto the research platform our clients already know and trust." Rigor stays on the platform The connector does not create a parallel path around Potloc's controls. Access is granted through OAuth, and every action runs through the platform's own authorization system, scoped to that user's permissions — the AI can only ever do what the person would be allowed to do themselves. Sampling standards, quality controls and the option to route any questionnaire to a Potloc research expert for human review before launch all remain firmly in place. "The fear with AI and research is always speed at the cost of rigor," said Barrere. "Our platform stays the foundation, so the sampling standards and quality controls hold no matter who's driving — your team or your AI. Every step gets faster. The methodology doesn't bend." Two interfaces, one dataset Clients can continue working directly in the Potloc Platform for a visual overview of a study, clear separation between research steps, and direct control over changes. The MCP option delivers speed and integration: instant access to the dataset, project management by prompt, and the ability to cross survey findings with a firm's own proprietary data sources inside a secure environment.
