How it works
It is just the conversation
No dashboard to learn first, no forms to fill in. Say what you want to find out, and check in when you want to know where it got to.
I want to understand why people churn off our billing product. Can I talk to 20 finance leads who switched billing tools in the last year?
- Terac
Sent that over for a confirmed price, since switchers are a specific enough audience to be worth pricing by hand rather than estimating. It comes back out of band and I will pick it up the moment it lands.

Good. Set it up as a 30-minute interview about how they chose the replacement.
- Terac
Built the draft: targeting on role and seniority, a screener that separates people who actually ran the switch from people who only heard about it, and a 30-minute interview task. It comes back priced at an estimated $60 per participant, so $1,200 for 20, plus the platform fee, and the confirmed price replaces that when it arrives. Nothing is live and nothing is charged. Here it is to review.
terac_create_opportunity
The screener is right. Launch it.
- Terac
Live and recruiting. I will check progress when you ask.

Where has it got to?
- Terac
12 of 20 completed, 8 awaiting your review. Three of them switched for a reason nobody in the first batch mentioned. Want me to walk you through those first?

An illustration of the flow, not a recorded session. Wording varies; the tools and the order they run in do not.
What you can do
A whole research study, from one conversation
Find out what it costs, first
Describe the audience and the draft comes back priced per participant, before anything is committed. When the number is worth getting exactly right, a person on our team prices it by hand and tells you whether the panel is reachable at all, which is the part that usually sinks a study late.
Recruit people who actually qualify
Target on verified profile attributes, then screen with questions written from what the task really requires. An AI moderator interviews applicants to re-check what they claimed.
Run interviews, tests, and surveys
Point people at your own survey or prototype, or have Terac run the task. Either way the work comes back attached to the person who did it.
Review the work and pay on approval
Read submissions, approve the good ones and reject the rest with a reason. Approving is what pays the expert, so quality stays yours to control.
Install
Three steps, about a minute
- 01
Open the app
Find Terac in Claude's directory, or follow the link below.
- 02
Connect your account
Sign in with the account you already use. No organization yet? You can create one right here and you will be brought back to finish connecting.
- 03
Pick your organization
Terac asks which organization the app acts for. Everything it does afterwards is scoped to it, and you can see all of it in the dashboard.
Using ChatGPT, Cursor, or something else? The same tools work there too.
FAQ
Question not answered? Email us at support@terac.com or book a meeting with our team.
Book a meetingIt lets you recruit and run research with real people without leaving the conversation. Describe who you need to hear from, and Terac prices it, finds and screens matching people, collects their answers, and pays them. You review the work and approve it, all from chat.
No. Install the app, connect, and you can create your organization during the connection itself. You will be brought straight back to finish connecting.
No. Building a study and getting it priced are both free, and nothing recruits anyone or charges you until you explicitly launch. You can go all the way to a fully built, fully priced study and decide not to run it.
Both, and the same tools are available in each. The directory listing is the one-click install for Claude; in Claude Code you add the MCP server with a single command instead. Cursor, VS Code, and any other Model Context Protocol client work the same way.
Only the organization you pick when you connect. It can read that organization's projects, studies, submissions and balance, and it can create and launch studies there. It cannot reach any other organization you belong to, and you can see everything it did in the Terac dashboard.
Terac's own verified panel, not anonymous crowdworkers. Every expert is identity-verified through attestations such as government ID, work email and LinkedIn, and an AI moderator screens and interviews applicants before their work reaches you.
Only from money you have already added. Launching is the one action that commits funds, and the app asks you to review the priced draft and approve it before it launches. Your organization's balance is the hard limit either way: a launch that exceeds it fails rather than billing you. You can see and control all of it in the Terac dashboard.
Recruitment is asynchronous. Simple audiences can start returning submissions within hours; niche or hard-to-reach ones take longer. The app can check progress whenever you ask, and the dashboard shows live fill against your target.
