Authentic in the Age of AI
About Us
As the artificial intelligence arms race accelerates and the world becomes saturated with generative content, TheyRank’s ability to tap into human intelligence and authentic human opinions becomes increasingly vital. AI may master skills, automate tasks, and mimic expertise, but it can never replicate human opinions forged by lived experience and human emotion. That’s why we’re building tools to help everyone easily and affordably harness honest human insights.
Who We Are
Our parent company, HICH (Human Intelligence Community Hub), was founded in the UK in 2018 with a simple but powerful mission: to democratise market research.
Born from the belief that getting fast and honest public feedback should be available to everyone, HICH launched its first product, the namesake HICH app, which enables anyone to give or receive opinions in seconds.
Building on the runaway success of the HICH app, the team set out to create a fast, affordable way for creatives, marketers, decision-makers, and image-lovers to run image-based research, and in 2024, TheyRank was born. By tapping into HICH app’s voter base, TheyRank is able to get images ranked from best to worst by real people in minutes.
