Hear from readers who never reply.

A poll gives you a number. Roux gives you the reasons.

  • Built for the commute

    Readers and listeners tap the link and just talk. No form, no login. Five minutes, voice or text.

  • Validate before you build

    Find out who would buy the course, at what price, before you spend three months making it.

  • Audience data sponsors ask for

    Podcast stats don’t say who’s listening. Ask, and get roles, company sizes, and the tools they buy.

  • No inbox full of replies

    Hundreds of conversations become one readout with the answer, the numbers, and the quotes.

Questions creators ask

Will it feel like a bot to my readers?

It feels like a short chat: one question at a time, with follow-ups on what they said. No account needed, and they can talk or type.

How is this different from a reader survey?

A survey gets a checkbox. Roux asks why, follows up on the answer, and lets people talk instead of type. You get the reasons behind the number.

Can I use it for sponsor research?

Yes. Ask readers and listeners about their role, their company, and the tools they buy. The readout gives you the numbers for your media kit.

Can I see who said what?

If you want to. Choose anonymous for honest answers, named when you want to follow up with buyers, or email-verified to confirm each reply comes from a real inbox.

What does it cost?

It’s free to start, with credits for your first conversations. Plans for bigger lists are on the pricing page.
