AI Psychology Engineering

We design how AI behaves
when people and judgment matter.

Impersonato builds and tests psychologically engineered AI roles. Use them to stress-test messages, products and AI interactions before they reach real people — or deploy them inside real workflows where review, evaluation and decision support require a defined way of thinking.

Powered by Impersonato Cognitive Runtime — our production layer for building, running and measuring psychologically engineered AI roles.

What we do One competence, two uses

One competence.
Two applications.

Both lines are the same skill applied twice: giving AI a defined, measurable and controlled way of behaving. In research we design AI that credibly represents how a specific person or population reacts. In operations we design AI that does work with a defined way of judging, noticing risk, questioning assumptions and escalating uncertainty.

Before it reaches real people
Behavioral Testing

We don't ask chatbots for an opinion. We construct and validate psychological roles that expose where a message, product or AI system creates risk, resistance, vulnerability and breakdown — across realistic interaction trajectories, before a single real person sees it.

  • Sensitive communication and campaigns
  • Products and user journeys
  • Chatbots, agents and high-risk human–AI interactions
Inside a live process
AI Judgment Systems

Not a do-everything agent. We build a defined way of evaluating, reviewing, challenging and escalating for one specific workflow — where the value is in how the system interprets, what it treats as suspicious, and from whose perspective it judges the result, not just in finishing a task.

  • Review and evaluation against your standards
  • Risk and misinterpretation recognition
  • Challenge, decision support and escalation
Technology Behind every role we ship

Impersonato
Cognitive Runtime.

A language model can generate an answer. A psychologically engineered role needs more: a defined cognitive and psychological structure, a repeatable workflow, limits on data and cost, a record of what happened, and a way to improve over time.

Impersonato Cognitive Runtime is the production layer for building, running and measuring psychologically engineered AI roles.

RolesBuilt as cognitive architectures — psychological structure, how the role reacts, what it must not do, and when to hand a case to a person.
WorkflowsRepeatable steps and structured outputs, in the same format every time.
ControlsUsage and iteration limits, data-access rules and an audit history of what happened.
DeploymentManaged by us, run on your own model accounts, or deployed privately.

For Behavioral Testing, the Runtime runs interviews, panels and stress tests. For AI Judgment Systems, it runs the role inside your process — under the controls you set.

Behavioral Testing Before launch

real people meet them.

AI Judgment Systems Inside a live process

Add a defined kind of
judgment to your org.

Deployment options You choose the boundary

Run it in the way your
organization requires.

Managed by Impersonato

We run the workflow and deliver the result.

Customer-controlled

The workflow runs with your model accounts and your usage limits.

Private deployment

For sensitive environments, the Runtime can be deployed in a dedicated or isolated setup.

Where AI systems fail
vulnerable users.

The Vulnerable Trajectory Observatory tracks situations in which commercial AI systems fail vulnerable users — turn-by-turn, model-by-model. It supports our work on stress-testing communication and AI interactions before deployment.
