Cosa fa Roark

Roark helps teams test, monitor, and improve their voice agents. Voice AI is exploding, but reliability is still the #1 challenge. Teams spend hours manually testing agents and still miss failures. In the last 6 months, Roark has processed over 10M minutes of calls, powering monitoring and simulation for teams across the Voice AI ecosystem (including YC companies). We close that gap by combining: 📊 Monitoring & Evaluation - 40+ built-in metrics (latency, instruction-follow, sentiment, etc.), custom dashboards, alerts, and the ability to define your own. Up to 15 speakers with automatic speaker identification. 🎭 Simulations & Personas - end-to-end phone/WebSocket simulations for inbound and outbound agents, with configurable personas (accents, languages, speech & behavior profiles). Define tests as conversations with a graph-based approach, so you can easily branch into edge cases and variants. 🔁 Full lifecycle loop - failed calls automatically become repeatable tests, so every failure makes your agent stronger. Roark is the missing QA layer for Voice AI - helping teams ship agents they can trust.

We built Roark to help teams test, monitor, and improve their voice agents. Our platform automatically evaluates calls using over 40 metrics like latency and sentiment, simulates conversations with configurable personas, and turns failures into repeatable tests. This closes the gap in voice AI quality assurance, letting teams ship agents they can trust without hours of manual testing.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where most Voice AI companies are, making it the best place to build and engage with customers and partners.
