Sapient reads how a real human brain responds to your content, second by second. Below are the most common ways teams put that to work, in plain language: what you’re trying to learn and what to submit. Every case runs on Qualia, the active model.
Qualia is the model for every case below. It’s the default and only available model right now — submit a video or audio URL and omit the model field. Mary (which read scripts, copy, and other text) is temporarily unavailable, so text input isn’t currently supported.

A/B testing ad creatives

Compare two ad variants and see which one actually holds attention and drives purchase intent, before you decide where the budget goes.
  • Submit: each video variant as its own scan, then compare the timelines.
  • Model: Qualia — it’s sharpest exactly here, separating visually distinct variants (different cuts, footage, pacing). (Script- or copy-only comparisons used Mary, which is temporarily unavailable.)
  • Look at: the attention and purchase intent curves side by side, to see which one stays higher, longer.

Hook analysis & optimization

The first three seconds decide whether anyone keeps watching. Find exactly where the hook lands and where attention drops off.
  • Submit: the creative (reel, TikTok, ad) as a video URL. Model: Qualia.
  • Look at: the per-second attention curve over seconds 0–3, plus the moments block for the first flagged drop.

Creator content pre-post check

Score a reel or TikTok before you publish it, so you ship the version that performs.
  • Submit: the finished cut as a video URL. Model: Qualia (it reads the visuals and audio together).
  • Look at: the overall score and grade for a fast verdict, then the timeline to tighten weak seconds.

Pre-flight QA before ad spend

Before you put real budget behind a creative, sanity-check it the way a focus group would, instantly.
  • Submit: the creative as a video URL. Model: Qualia — especially strong when you’re choosing between visual variants.
  • Look at: the headline score, the attention and purchase intent lenses, and the moments where it slips.

Voiceover testing

Compare voiceover variants line by line, without filming anything.
  • Submit: the voiceover as an audio URL. Model: Qualia.
  • Look at: the per-second attention and purchase intent curves to see which lines land and which lose the listener.
Scoring a raw script or ad copy as text was Mary’s specialty, and Mary is temporarily unavailable — text input isn’t currently supported. Test the voiceover as audio in the meantime.

Manipulation & brand-safety check

See how heavily a creative leans on emotional persuasion versus plain reasoning, which is useful for brand-safety and compliance review.
  • Submit: the ad as a video or audio URL. Model: Qualia.
  • Look at: the manipulation lens across the timeline.

Memorability test

Attention is cheap; memory is what sells. Find out what actually sticks.
  • Submit: the creative as a video or audio URL. Model: Qualia.
  • Look at: the memory lens. A high attention score with a low memory score means it grabs focus but doesn’t stay.
