FocusGroup: Focus Group Simulation Using LLM Agents

Moderated focus group discussions simulated with large language models (LLMs). Participants carry personas built from respondent records or labeled survey files. A session runs under a specified turn-taking rule, and one turn can be experimentally manipulated to measure its effect on the next.
