Simulation & evaluation for AI voice and chat agents

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that lets engineers simulate thousands of conversations and voice interactions to test their autonomous AI agents. Instead of manually running these tests, our system integrates into their CI/CD pipelines to detect regressions and ensure their assistants remain dependable as they evolve.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA and will remain based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a hub for AI engineering and innovation. Being here keeps us close to our users and partners who are building next-gen chat and voice assistants.
