THE BUY MOMENT
We read the brain’s reward and hesitation signals second by second and mark the moment intent tips over, so you can front-load what works and cut what leaks.
Every read is scored against a model trained on real fMRI brain data, so the buy moment is measured, not guessed.

Reward vs. hesitation, scored per second
The exact line that triggers the decision
What to move earlier, and what to cut
THE FULL READOUT
One scan. Every signal the brain fires, decoded second by second.
How long the brain stays locked in — second by second.
Every neural signal firing across the whole clip.
The exact seconds intent-to-buy spikes.
Ask why — every answer grounded in this scan's own numbers.
Sapient is disruptive and eliminates so much of the bluster in the aesthetics space.

HOW IT WORKS
No panels. No surveys. A model trained on real fMRI brain data reads your creative the way a human brain does — in seconds.
Drop in any ad, video, or piece of content — a link or a file. That’s the whole setup.
A model trained on real fMRI brain data reads it second by second, mapping attention, emotion, memory and intent as they fire.
Get the full neural readout — where attention holds, the exact second they decide to buy, what to cut — and optimize for the result you want.
Attention holds to 0:12, which is where intent tips over.
The API
The same readout, straight from your pipeline. Send a video URL, poll the scan, read every signal per second.
$ curl -X POST api.thesapientcompany.com/v1/scans \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \ -d '{"video_url": "…/ad.mp4"}'
POST a video URL or file with your API key. No SDK required, it is plain HTTPS.
$ curl .../v1/scans/scn_a41c9 {"status": "processing", "pct": 62}
A model trained on real fMRI brain data reads attention, emotion, memory and intent as they fire.
{ "score": 71, "grade": "B+", "buy_moment": 12.4, "attention": [64, 66, 71, …] }
The response carries the full per-second readout. Pipe it into your dashboard, your agent, or your ad rotation.

Sapient is the world’s best platform to improve your looks and achieve a real facial transformation without surgery. We provide you, from the comfort of your home, with a personalized facial analysis and transformation plan based on your unique features.
Sapient is for anyone who wants to improve their looks with science-based methods, without surgery.
Upon joining, you’ll receive:
You’ll receive an updated version of all the above once a year to make sure you maintain your results and stay the best-looking version of yourself for years to come.
ChatGPT and other AI assistants can offer general guidance on aesthetics. But general is all they can offer.
Large language models have no ability to place landmarks on your face, measure skin texture, or perform the 100+ aesthetic tests that form the foundation of a Sapient analysis. They rely on broad pattern recognition and outdated frameworks like the golden ratio, which modern aesthetic science has long moved past. And because they have no understanding of your specific demographics, bone structure, or skin characteristics, their output is inherently generic.
The same limitation applies to AI-generated visualizations. Ask an LLM to adjust your brow shape and it will subtly alter your eyes, nose, and skin tone in the process (identity loss). The result looks convincing but simply isn’t an accurate representation of what your face would actually look like.
At Sapient, we use tools like Claude to help articulate findings clearly. But the analysis itself, every measurement, every test, every protocol, is powered by proprietary models built over years of dedicated research, combined with the hands-on expertise of our team.
If you want quick, free answers to aesthetic questions, ChatGPT is a reasonable starting point. But if you are looking for the gold standard in aesthetic planning, Sapient is in a different category entirely.
It takes up to 28 days from the moment you upload your photos for our team to prepare your analysis and protocol.
This is an ongoing service that you can cancel at any time. After your initial plan, you'll receive updated protocols, analyses, and visualizations every year. You’ll also have unlimited access to message our care team support whenever you need.
Once a year to update your analysis, review your protocol, and track your progress.
We don’t rely on filters or gimmicks. We’ve trained our models to achieve best-in-class precision in three main areas:
We landmark 512 points of your face, allowing us to perform precise assessments of your facial features.
Our visualizations are designed to be realistic, showing you a preview of what your face would look like with different changes.
Our recommendations are based on 450+ evidence-based methods to improve attractiveness.
Yes. The many small changes we recommend, combined together, compound to produce dramatic results. Every transformation you see on this page can be achieved without surgery and, for most people, surgery is unnecessary and often counterproductive. Everyone can maximize their attractiveness and achieve impressive results without surgical intervention.
Your Questions
Most insecurity comes from uncertainty, not knowing if your concerns are real or imagined. When you're guessing about your appearance, your mind often makes things seem worse than they are.
Many features you might worry about are actually positive traits. Our analysis often helps people appreciate aspects of their face they used to dislike.
For example, slight facial asymmetry is perfectly normal-everyone has it and it should not be corrected. But if uneven skin tone is making you self-conscious, that's something we can help improve.
Takes into account genetic factors and how they might impact your facial appearance.
Many feel guilty about wanting to improve their looks, fearing it means they’re shallow or insecure. But here's what research tells us : caring about appearance is natural. Like health, finances, and education, it’s just another form of self-improvement.
