The evidence

For each of 6 host towns, OpenAI gpt-5.4-mini, with no Qloo data, wrote the plan a consultant would. The plans were frozen on 2026-10-27 before any measurement. The method, the per-town table and what the test does not prove are on the evidence page.

Data and media

QlooInsights API: places within 15 km ranked by how much locals favour them, plus local taste for brands, artists, TV and podcasts. About 25 calls per town; aggregate for the town, never about a person.
Age groupsThe age-group check asks Qloo about three groups only: young adults (under 25), older residents and families with young children. Each uses aggregate place affinities; no resident is scored and the check asks about no other group.
Partner agesUp to three Insights calls per town (urn:demographics, five partner ids each, up to 15 partners) give each partner's audience age profile: which age groups over-index among the people who favour the place, relative to the average. Only the age buckets are read; gender is discarded. It is not a visitor count and says nothing about this town's residents.
Place traitsOne more Insights call per town (urn:tag at the site, place tags only, take 50) gives the genres, ambience and dishes places around the site over-index on. Only tags that describe the place itself are kept: tags about who goes there, age ranges, neighbourhood descriptors and generic ones are dropped. A partner's “Why” names the traits it carries, by rank among the rest.
